- Does DEMACS work --- reliably? I would appreciate email from anyone
- who has experience, either way. I have been trying to use DEMACS, but
- I have been unable to get it to work reliably. It seems to be very
- sensitive to other software, either refusing to run or running
- "poorly" --- e.g. ignoring characters or doubling them. Then, when it
- appears to be running well, it often hangs at odd times, losing my
- recent work. Emacs is my favorite editor (by far) in the unix
- environment, and I had hoped to use it extensively in DOS, but, so
- far, I am still relying on BRIEF simply because I can't depend on
- DEMACS.
