Subject: Re: EMACS for CP/M

Mark of the Unicorn was selling MINCE (MINCE Is Not Complete EMACS).
The last known CP/M price I saw was around $99 for it.  However, They
really wanted to push Final Word (kind of a combination MINCE/SCRIBBLE)
and they may have stopped marketing MINCE (at least I think they stopped
selling their MS-DOS copy of it).

There is a MICRO-EMACS available in the public domain, but as far as I
know, it is too big to run under CP/M-80, and is written in C.  It should
run under CP/M-86, CP/M-68K, as well as MS-DOS and the Atari and the Amiga.

Workman and Associates have an editor which is a cross between WordStar
and EMACS which is written in their FTL-MODULA-2 compiler which is fairly
cheap (around $40-50 I think).  It runs well with their FTL-MODULA-2 compiler,
and comes with sources if you feel like modifying it.

There's also WordStar, but that isn't EMACS, is it...

Any other ideas anyone?
