EMACS is a programmable computer text editor with an entireLISP system inside it. It was originally written by Richard Stallman in TECO under ITS at the MITAI lab; AIMemo 554 described it as 'an advanced, self-documenting, customisable, extensible real-time display editor'. It has since been reimplemented any number of times, by various hackers, and versions exist which run under most major operating systems. Perhaps the most widely used version, also written by Stallman and now called 'GNU EMACS' or GNUMACS, runs principally under UNIX. It includes facilities to run compilation sub-processes and send and receive mail. Other variants include GOSMACS, CCA EMACS, UniPress EMACS, Montgomery EMACS, jove, epsilon, and MicroEMACS.

pcANYWHERE III is a menu-driven remote control program for IBM PC-compatibles that allows the user to control and/or monitor one PC from another over a communications link. Suitable for support purposes and typically used with standard dial-up modems, pcANYWHERE III connects two PCs so their screens and keyboards are linked as one. Whatever the remote user sees on-screen is also seen on the local screen. pCANYWHERE III includes both host and remote portions necessary for remote connection of two PCs, and is useful for remote connection into networking environments such as Novell NetWare. The package includes a chat mode and call logging feature, and supports programs that require CCA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, and Hercules Graphics.
On the remote PC, pcANYWHERE III runs underneath other applications as a RAMresident program, occupying only 45K of RAM. The local portion runs as a primary task on a PC. The local PC supports any number of remote users and can he programmed with the appropriate telephone numbers and passwords so users can be called by selecting them from a pop-up directory window. The remote computer can be programmed to automatically call the support computer. Research PCANYWHERE
