[TUHS] UniPress Emacs V2.20 from 1989

[William H. Mitchell]

I started using Gosling’s Emacs around 1981-1982.  "make" in Emacs was a game changer!

I recall that in the Emacs documentation Gosling wrote something like, "The only similarity between MockLisp and Lisp is the syntax."  I didn’t get it--MockLisp sure seemed like Lisp to me! Years later I did get it and viewed that as a measure of my coming along as a computer scientist.

A couple of years later I did a project where I dropped in the Icon programming language as a peer of MLisp (UniPress’s name for MockLisp, I believe.)  See https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/~whm/An_Icon_Subsystem_for_UNIX_Emacs_tr84_8.pdf
