Here they are: 1) EMACS or EMACS like text editor 2) VT-100 terminal emulator with Vadic 1200 baud protocol support 3) File transfer support with the Vadic protocol I would also like to be able to do some local hacking and therefore the following would also be nice: 4) Scribe like text formatter 5) Lisp or C or Modula-2 I know very little about PC's. How can my needs be met? How much memory should I get? Do I need a hard disk? Please reply to ROBBINS@MIT-OZ (I'm not on this list yet) Thanks in advance!
