- I'm not talking about Micro EMACS, I'm talking about the *ONE TRUE
- EDITOR*, GNU Emacs. I agree that Emacs is a little slow with
- memory management. But my development machine is an A3000, so that
- isn't a problem. I wouldn't suggest running it on anything slower
- than a 12Mhz '020, however. That I do run it on my 7Mhz BBS
- computer is amazing...
-
- The only thing that the Amiga port of GNU emacs really needs is
- Workbench supported cut-and-paste. But, for that matter, the X
- implementation of EMACS doesn't use X cut-and-paste either! :-(
