ramfree17 Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 its on the installation discs. or http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.p...=mandrake&arch= as for configuring it as an IDE, its a broad subject and you might be better off subscribing to an emacs list. :) ciao!

Guest SDMF Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 My old C++ professor used to swear by emacs. He would have it open in split-screen, with a source code file in one half and a shell in the other. I on the other hand was never comfortable using it. I stick to good old vi, and ctrl-z to pause it and run a command, fg to go back to vi. Never had a problem with that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
