- I think David Gay's port is pretty much the standard on the Amiga now.
- I'm using version 1.26 of his port (which is emacs 18.58, I think).
- It's the real thing, i.e. full blown GNUEmacs, so it should be exactly
- like what you use at work, with the exception of a few Amiga quirks
- (like /tmp -> tmp:, etc.). It's a nice port. I've got an A3000 with
- 6Meg. Your setup of 5Meg should be fine.

- There are both full source distributions and binary/lisp-file only
- ones, I believe, probably available on wuarchive.wustl.edu in the
- amiga area or the amiga.physik.unizh.ch mirror area there.
