Emacs editor for Windows 95 and NT is available at:

http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html

If you're lucky, you already understand emacs. As a PC user, it took me
two full days to find, install, setup, and print from emacs.

And there is a PV-Wave mode available from VNI, should be in your
..\wave\lib\emacs directory. It works reasonably well, but if you
figure out how to use fonts instead of colors to highlight syntax,
please post. (Colors look fine on the screen, but you get greyscales
from the printer.) If you have to set paths in any of the lisp files,
remember that backslash is a comment delimiter in lisp. Use forward
slash as the directory delimiter.

And please point out to VNI that Wave would be a lot more useful (and a
hell of a lot cheaper to code in) if it had a built-in language
sensitive editor. Haven't they ever seen Visual C, Visual Basic, or
Matlab 5?

Good advice!

You should be able to find Emacs for DOS/Windows. Search for
it! The PICO editor may not be ported. VI for DOS only.
Check this listing and other files in the /editors directory here.

Shucks, I guess you'll need an Atari to get a real EDT session going ;-)
