Subject: Emacs-like editor wanted

(I sure hope this gets out to the net!)

I keep seeing all these announcements of MicroEmacs for all sorts of
operating systems, and am getting pretty jealous of MS-DOS people, since I run
CP/M.  Has anyone succeeded (or even tried) to convert MicroEmacs to CP/M?

I need a good editor.  I've used The Final Word, but it just isn't as good
as Emacs, and it limits the size of files to less than the size of its swap
file.  No good!  So I must use WordStar for editting long programs -- no
good either.  Are there any good editors out there that let you edit big
files?

                                               Thanks a lot,
                                               Steve Jenks

p.s.  Anyone have a UO-Lisp manual.  I bought UO-Lisp a long time ago, and
never got a manual (pretty useless, huh?) and now the company doesn't
respond to my letters.  Every company I buy anything from seems to go out of
business!  Maybe I should buy an IBM PC and they would go under...
