- We have a simple interface from Franz to Emacs, but I much prefer to go the
- other way, i.e. run Franz as a inferior job under Emacs. I believe there
- are several Emacs packages which allow one to run inferior jobs in an Emacs
- window (I have my own which is, unfortunately totally undocumented). Some of
- the benefits of this set up include:
-
- - one has all of the text editing functions available in Emacs
- - one has many lisp-based editing functions available in Emacs
- (thru mock-lisp packages like electriclisp)
- - one has a history of the session in the editing buffer
- - one has an environment which supports multiple concurrent
- processes running in seperate windows.
- - it is very easy to experiment with new interface features such as
- symbol completion and re-evaluation of previously issued commands
