Yuk yuk. Yeah, we've all heard the jokes. ;-) It's actually "Editor Macros", as you well know. http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/gnuemacs.acro.exp.html Latest GNU Emacs for DJGPP (prebuilt binaries) is 23.3, and IIRC, the main .EXE is over 12 MB nowadays. (So much for 8 MB ....) Don't get your hopes up on using it effectively on old machines (even with CWSDPMI swapping)! A smaller alternative would be JED, but I still haven't gotten around to packaging that up for us yet. (Or some variant of MicroEmacs, e.g. JASSPA.) em2303b.zip 25-Apr-2011 42 MB http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/current/v2gnu/em2303b.zip http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=11751#p11751 http://www.jasspa.com/downdos.html > (A friend commented "I do not have enough digits to use Emacs effectively.") Use VIPER mode (or similar). Or just use VILE (based upon older MicroEmacs!) . ;-) http://invisible-island.net/vile/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
