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. Thanks, Bob
