[Please don't feed the line-eater.] In case I don't manage to set all the header lines to show the appropriate person, I'm really Stephen Humble (sthumble@athena.mit.edu), using a friend's account to post to the net. To business. I recently started work at a company with a lot of Apollos (nice windows) and Unipress emacs (miserable). Is there anyone on the net who can tell me about Gnuemacs on the Apollo? I've read the file gnuemacs/etc/APOLLO and it makes me a little uneasy. The Apollos where I work have a network problem that makes them _very_ slow when running Apollo's csh emulator: 5-10 seconds for cd and the like. 1. Can Gnuemacs run in Apollo's native shell (Aegis)? 2. How much lisp has to be loaded at startup and how long does that take? 3. Does Aegis have any delightful quirks :-( re Gnuemacs that aren't mentioned in etc/APOLLO? 4. any other information. Please reply via e-mail since I rarely read netnews. Thanks.
