  Alpha is a pretty poor excuse for emacs. There is a version of emacs
that runs on the mac (at ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/parmet), but it
is based on Emacs 18. I use it when I really want emacs, but it has
some problems, so I use Alpha for most things. I'd REALLY like an
Emacs 19 port, but haven't seen any indication that this is being done.
