You may have meant this as a joke, but that's exactly what emace was made for -- an OS and UI that work well with text-only terminals -- the ones everyone had back when it was written. The real regret I have about it is that it lacks decent function closures in its underlying abstract machine. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
