Is Warren Montgomery's emacs available, like, anywhere... I used it long ago on V7m, and I had it on my AT&T 7300 (where it was available as a binary package). It's the first emacs I ever used. I don't recall where we got it for the PDP-11. On our system, we had it permission-restricted so only certain trusted users could use it - basically, people who could be trusted not to be in it all the time, and not to use it while the system was busy. We had an 11/40 with 128K, and 2 or 3 people trying to use Mongomery emacs would basically crush the system... In the absence of that, I've always found JOVE to be the next best thing, as far as being lightweight and sufficently emacs-like. I actually install it on almost all of my Linux systems. Did JOVE ever run on V7? --Pat.
