I have not previously seen any mention of these editors for VMS.  I would be
very interested if some kind soul could post (or e-mail) a source for either
or both of these.  (Isn't Dan Lawrence at Purdue?  I forget.)  I have seen
mention of MG sources for amiga and for MS/PC-DOS, but not for VMS.  Same
for microemacs.  Are the differences significant?  Does anyone have a diff
file?

Please do not mail me any huge source files, but I would appreciate any
pointers that anyone could send me.

Thanks in advance.
