There IS an alternative for those wanting
EMACS under VMS!!!
It's called AMIS ( for Anti MISery ), was
written by hackers, grown tired of DEC standard
editing facilities, in and around the
university computing facilities in Stockholm,
and is available for TOPS10, PRIMOS, VMS and
at least one 68000 machine.
Work is under way to put it on UNIX.
It's written in PASCAL, and quite cheap.
The VMS version has been around for 5 years now,
and is as bugfree as anything I've seen.
It's continually developing.
The main drawback is the extension language,
of which there is none... yet. But several
ideas are being tried, including a Pascal-based
extension mechanism.
It closely follows the original EMACS, all debate
invariably ended with:
That's How Emacs Does It!
