I ported MicroEmacs to CP/M. When I finished, there were no living
CP/M BBSes to post it to....

I never tried running it off a floppy; overlays are required,
and hard-disk performance was pretty good; the overlay most often in
memory contained page up/down, start-of-line, and so forth, in other
words
       the most common commands.

AZTEC-C was used for compiling.

Other limitations: no Regular Expression Search; no Search/Replace (
but you can search and then execute keyboard macro ); cannot keep up
with typing speed in two-window mode; maximum file size is about
30K, because the file is all in memory -- this is the maximum of ALL
FILES at once!

Good points: a REAL EDITOR that works under CP/M!!!!!
In one-window mode, it runs as fast as you can type.
Useful features added: go-to-next-sequential-buffer,
go-to-first-Word, and others... ( don't remember all the details ).

Now, the big question: where could I post this?
does anyone want to see it?
And, how do I post this source? I don't have a shar-wrapping
utility, just where is it on uunet and where do I get it?
