You could always just remove all the conditionals and create an RSX only fork. Some
people might say that's the Wrong Thing To Do, but I prefer to be less judgmental and
simply observe that it might be "less than optimal". Still useful, however.
Yeah. I started down that path, but eventually got tired trying to
figure out what goes where, and how. And I still had the problem to just
clean out all the very entrenched Unix-isms it has. In the end I
realized that it will go way faster to just implement something on my
own from scratch.
Personally I'd really like to see an Emacs for RSX. I'm perfectly happy with
EDT when a VTxxx terminal is available, but often it is not, especially when
using simh. VTxxx emulation on a PC doesn't solve the problem since the keypad
layout is just not quite the same, and my right hand was hardwired with the EDT
key bindings many, many years ago. It can't be changed anymore :-)
Yes, I have that same problem. A PC keyboard sortof works, but it's not
ideal. And my fingers are actually even more wired for Emacs to start with.
