I once had an A500 emulator installed on my systems, because I had found a
german A500 manual in a dustbin. I found the GUI really great, but the CLI
was hard to use (and the window it was inside, it couldn't be closed anymore).
But what me really fascinated was this cool 'say' program. I believe this
speech synthesizer is still used by some musicians doing electronic music
(does anybody know 'Console'? I think they use it).
Unfortunately the disk images I downloaded didn't have the MicroEmacs as
described in the manual, but the manual sometimes still helps me out when
I need a help to a command in GNU Emacs.

You should have read the manual more carefully.. :-) endcli or
endshell is the command to use. And if you have a recent version of
the OS (2.x or 3.x), then the console windows also have a
close-button.

Commodore licenced the speech engine from some company which I don't
remember right now.. I've heard the same speech in some commercials
etc.

The speech engine in 2.0x is much better than the one in 1.x. Then CBM
decided it wasn't worth it to licence the engine anymore so they
dropped it in 2.1.

I don't think it's the same that Console uses, in my opinion that
sounds like a vocoder. (you speak into it and it morphs your voice)

Microemacs was quite a good conversion back then, who really needs the
LISP part of emacs anyway?-)

AmigaDOS is quite Unix-like in its function, but uses commands more familiar
to MS-DOS users. Of course, when I first used AmigaDOS I didn't have
anything else to base it on ... I learnt how to use MS-DOS based on what I
knew of AmigaDOS, which led to lots of frustration along the way! :)

Argh, I have 1.2, 1.3 and 2.1... so I've missed the better library
altogether! :)

I never really used MEMACS that much, preferring Ed. I guess it's like the
difference between Pico and EMACS, really :)
