linux to an imac

2002-04-20 01:53 / emacs is lovely  »

A working and usable aqua + finder emacs. Miles better than in a terminal and just as easy to use as textedit for day to day stuff. available here. Comes prebuilt as one of those scary name.app directory (shell) application (finder) things which you can copy to /Applications. This could well alleviate the need for X. Here's a screenshot (smaller) showing its prettiness. Also happens to be the quickest loading emacs I've seen :-).

It defaults to // for file access, to which I have write access as Admin / member of admin group. This - write access - not the default path - is EBW.

Hopefully removing it with sudo chmod g-w // won't break the GUI admin. sudo passwd root was how I changed the root password without knowing it after purchase.
