I think you mean CCA Emacs (Computer Corporation of America, perhaps?). It was the first Emacs available on VAX VMS, and was a commercial product. We had it here at Utah for a couple of years, I think, until GNU Emacs became available (but memory is hazy after 20+ years). There are lists of historical emacs programs at http://www.finseth.com/emacs.html The author of that site wrote the 1991 book "The Craft of Text Editing --- Emacs for the Modern World". That book, and many others, are recorded at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-g.html#gnu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H. F.
