[Mac-emacs-users] Re: emacs mode question

[Jeffrey P. <tha...@my...>]

John Smothers: There is someone who has posted a compiled version of 
Andrew's build, and you can get it here:

http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/index.html

Btw, I have a Titanium and it really is the best thing I have owned in a 
long time. OS X still has some quirks, but compared to OS 9, it is a lot 
more stable and you can take advantage of a lot of the open source world 
(like emacs, of course). Andrew has done good work on the Emacs port, it 
works incredibly well.
