24 What is the group comp.editors about ?
25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26 Comp.editors is an INET group for the discussion of editors, editing
27 interfaces and internals generally. For discussion of what an INET
28 group is, please see the regular postings in news.announce.newusers.
29 There was discussion some time back about making comp.editors into a
30 regular usenet group, but so far nothing has come of it.
31 
32 If, however, you are interested in "EMACS", a very special editor,
33 then you should look at (and post to) these groups:
34    comp.emacs
35    gnus.emacs.help
36 However, if the question is about an emacs in relation to another type
37 of editor, then its probably ok to post it here.

41   - List of EMACS implementations (Posted every 2. month).
