It's not public domain in the strictest sense of the word, but since it is to be part of the GNU Project, it is free. For nice displays, it talks to SunView and X, though it doesn't have fancy curses() hooks yet. It is quite nice and undergoing active development. It runs on all the 4.2 machines around here that I've tried it on so far (VAX and Sun), but you may have problems on a non-UN*X box. I don't know about that at all. I don't know if anyone is distributing it via UUCP yet.-- Bob Sutterfield, Computer and Information Science Department The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cb{osgd,att}!osu-eddie!bob (614) 292 - 0915
