   Hi All.
       Two questions,
       (1)  What is Emac?

EMACS is an extensible editor.  It was originally written by Richard Stallman
using a programmable line editor language called TECO on DEC10 and DEC20
machines.  It has since been rewitten using just about every imaginable
language.  The current GNU version is still primarily written and maintained by
Richard as part of the GNU project and is written in LISP and C.  The command
set is extesible using both macros and LIST scripts which can be precompiled to
byte code for speed and even preloaded into an EMACS image which can then be
dumped to an executable to remove startup delays.

EMACS is the ultimate programmers editor and IDE.  (Wrapping up the old soapbox
and putting it away for another day, he exits gracefully. :)

       (2)  I've found a TASM to AS converter on the web, it converts from
	    AT&T to AS formats.  Will it work on MASM files?
       Thank you all very much!

I'll leave this for someone else.
