(FERROR NIL ...) or (FERROR ...) that is the question. Multiple #LispMachine disorder
The cool thing about the #LispMachine #LispM is the Error-Handler. Not Emacs. The editor could have been vi and nobody would be the wiser.
The New Old EH has been ported back to #CADR / #LispMachine #Lispm System 303.

@oantolin Emacs predates Lisp Machines. Emacs is an editor, nothing more or less. It is not a Lisp environment, or a Lisp implementation.
And yes, it is about Lisp, an extensible language. Emacs is special, but it is for other reasons.
#GNU #Emacs is a far shot from #LispM #LispMachine, and ZWEI is a far shot from #GNU #Emacs.
#GNU #Emacs is not a #LispMachine #LispM. If you think that .. you're lost your editor.
Anyone wanna write a small #GNU #Emacs mode that handles #LispM #LispMachine fontified files? #EmacsLisp #elisp
If #Lisp hackers are looking for copies of dpANS .. all versions, plus mail and all that ... https://tumbleweed.nu/r/dpANS/dir?ci=tip -- the original is long gone.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Like Icarus, Symbolics, Inc. thought there was no limit to how high... [the picture cuts off]
Its technology was the envy of that sexy new industry, artificial intelligence, and its rapid climb to the $100 million revenue level in 1986 earned it acclaim as "a stock market superstar."
Now mired in red ink and leaderless -- its founders having been eased out of control -- the firm stands as a classic case of missed opportunities, overreaching ambition and market insensitivity.
"Success can be seductive," said Barbara Isgur, a technology analyst with D. H. Brown Associates in Tarrytown, N.Y.
"It's hard to know when to turn the corner or change direction. I can't think of a company that's been able to do that without a lot of pain," Isgur said.

It is true that the standard editor is ED.

#LispMachine #Lisp #Emacs is the standard editor.
#Emacs is smaller than vi or ed.
ZWEI is 42831 lines total.

Or if you're cross eye.. we support that too..
