I have been looking (for about a month) for a public domain
full screen editor for the ST. I have tried both local
ST groups, and calling BBSs in different parts of the country.

Can anybody (especially the Atari-guy) point me in the right
direction, or is it to early yet for anyone to have designed
a public domain editor? (Something akin to PC-WRITE for the
IBMs would be great...)

Thanks in advance...

Has anybody tried porting GNU Emacs to the ST? It ought to run fine
in a meg machine, unless the C compiler and environment are too far
off from Unix. (Of course, you'd need a hard disk to compile it,
since the source is about 8 megs -- and even the executable image
might not fit on a floppy.).

There is a program called Micro Emacs that has been ported to the Amiga.
I believe it originally ran on the IBM. It may not be too hard to move
it to the Atari.

I think the binary is about 40KB on the Amiga and it does NOT require
a hard disk to compile. There is no Mlisp. Changing key definitions
requires recompiling one of the routines.

Also, someone recently posted a VI like editor to net.sources.
(or was it mod.sources?)

Anything that big isn't worth compiling.

Micro-Emacs is available (and has been for quite some time) on the ST.
It comes with the ST Developer's Kit.

Did the phrase "public domain" slip by you...?

(Sorry, I can't bring myself to shell out $300 for the developer's kit...)

MicroEMACS was supplied to me by Atari(UK) with the developement ki
It is about 28k object code plus 128k documentation.
I much prefer '1st Word' the word processor distributed in lieu of
Gemwrite.
