Doesn't MicroEMACS run under VMS?
Dunno - I have never used that version. I use JOVE on a PDP-11 (under
2.11bsd), but that's never been ported to VMS AFAIK.
I have emacs 18.51 running just fine on VAX VMS; I didn't think Alpha
would be that hard! Hmm - maybe I should try to find the sources for
that
version.
I have a version of MicroEMACS running under RSX. :-)
Oh shit! Share?
Sent the location in another mail. Let me know if you can't get to it. You also have already task build image there, linked with RMSRES in supervisor mode, and DAPRES.

Afternoon,
Well, looks like some of my tunnels came up...however surprisingly it's the tunnels of OTHERs that haven't reconnected to me post-IP-change. ;)
Interesting. I will need to debug this further.

It must be pretty micro. Might be nano or pico at that point. ;)
Well, MicroEMACS V1. Works just fine. Biggest problem is that it requires all the file to be in memory when editing, so I can't edit files much more than 1000 lines under RSX. That limitation wouldn't really be a limitation under VMS... :-)
MIM::DU:[EMACS]
not sure if all the bits for VMS is there, or in functioning order...

the stupid CONFIGURE brain damage.
I saw that - a 500 block DCL script is kinda scary, but at least it
doesn't crash.
Personally, I'm happy with vi on unix and EDT on VMS.
EDT (and EVE) are really only useful to me if I have a real VTxxx
keyboard. My right hand knows all the keypad sequences, and can't be
reprogrammed for any PC key layout.
Agree.
vi is, well, evil. The only command I know is :quit! (gotta have the
bang!) for the few times I accidentally get into it :-)
Agree twice on that. :-)
Emacs is just way too heavyweigh with unnecessary features.
You mean "gnu emacs..." and with that I absolutely agree, but I don't know
any other emacs alternative that's been ported to VMS.
AMIS.

Stop using PeeCee keyboards... they're generally horrible to begin with and
then, there's the issue of the odd layout.
I dunno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftDkBFz9BII is a pretty fantastic keyboard.

There's always TECO.
How do you think I've been fixing the emacs problems??? :-)
It's a bit tedious, though, and I find that I've forgotten a lot of TECO
commands. I used to be really good at it, but that was around 1978...
Same here. There are TECO manuals on Bitsavers, of course.
A couple of years ago I implemented TECO in Python. I could post that if there is interest...
