Emacs is such a space hog... I bet it'd be tens of megabytes smaller if it didn't have all these kitchen sink Easter eggs in it. :D

[cb911]

he he. looks like fun. :) i'll have to try those out later.

everyone here know about the other things in emacs? Dr. Eliza & Zippy the pinhead??

that's been mentioned in the forums here before... ;) :D

I told the doctor that I was raped.... and he started asking me about my sex life. Very scary

Yes, this is great for wasting time. I generally play around with this when I don't have an internet connection and nothing to do on my computer. IMO emacs has too much irrelevant stuff. Now I only use emacs for the games, and never for the text editor. It's probably the same with many people. How sad.

[jeffy.dee-lux]

can someone tell me what emacs is?

[wowser]

hey! even i managed to get this working and its the first time i have evr opened terminal! the doctor was not helpful in helping my dry hand problem!!

It is an extensible programmer's text editor. To me, it's the finest of the free editors and as good as most commercial editors. It has a subset of the A.I. programming language LISP and can do practically anything, including games.

There is a version called micro emacs which is small enough to fit on a diskette with a lot of space left over.

Tried but could not get it to work.

Tried what? You found a version of micro emacs for another system that doesn't work? Can't get emacs to work?

I can't get emacs to work either. i get command not found. Any ideas?

[scifi451]

Cant get emacs to work at least that command to get to games.

[bousozoku]

I would suspect that you have not installed the development tools.

that dr. thing is the most odd and scary thing but great fun!
