- It can go wherever you want it to go. The Amiga doesn't tend to use
- fixed paths for things. Just assign GnuEmacs: to where you installed
- it, and you're set.

- I believe for space reasons the Amiga 18.58 distribution doesn't come
- with much of the LISP stuff. I had to scarf a bunch of it from the real
- GNU distribution to get a reasonable environment. You can get ada mode
- from there.

- Now this is problematic. The common Amiga version is 18.58, and color
- highlighting didn't come along until V19. Someobody was reportedly
- working on a V19 port, but I don't know what the status is, although I
- heard it was buggy and unstable.
-
- Personally I'd rather someobody ported xemacs: it is much nicer than
- V19.anything, and and also some things are much, much faster (like
- anything that depends on the regexp search engine, for example).

- xdme/dme is to GNU emacs as a 1970 desk calculator is to a 68060.
