- What I'd recommend, since Paul is already used to Emacs, is GnuEmacs.
- He can just bring along his Ada-mode elisp code, and presto! he's
- got the editing environment that he's used to. I used to work on
- a SparcStation by day, and my Amiga by night, and I use GnuEmacs for
- just that reason. The only difference is a slight difference in
- the placement of the key used for the Meta key.

- PS- He'll need about 700K of free memory just to load emacs, plus the
- amount of space for files he'll want loaded simultaneously. (Emacs won't
- work with virtual memory managers like VMM and Gigamem for reasons I
- won't go into here...)
