Not to knock the FINE commercial products out there, but there is a P/D
implementation of uEMACS for the Rainbow that can be downloaded from
Fido 109/483 (The Pot of Gold) at 703-359-6549.  The commercial
products are much better.  Obviously, you gets what you pays for.
However, you may want to try the P/D stuff and then spring for the
commercial versions.  I also have DED available on 109/483, as well as
a lot of other good generic and Rainbow specific software.
