to be fair, you must admit that Eberhard Mattes has done a terrific
job at his emx environment! This is a one man show and emx means
"E_berhard M_attes eX_tender", because it started out as a 32 bit DOS
programming environment. emx is free software and doesnt compete with
commercial products.

Besides working on emx, he has some other projects too, like emTeX (an
impressive TeX implementation for DOS and OS/2) and the porting of GNU
EMACS. When he can spare some time developping software, he does
research in maths at the University of Stuttgart.

BTW, I have to live in 8 MB and am not very fond of thousands of WPS
classes and DLLs (although I love the WPS), that eat up memory ;-)
