emacs works well with RCS/CVS too. I don't remember if it works that
across a SSH link.

I first used it in PC-Write IIRC. Did the same as the emacs thing that
you just explained. I'm thinking I might have done it in qedit
(another DOS editor).
I remember some users (around '90) saying "Why do I need X? I have
emacs and can run my editor, gdb, gcc, etc". These users were beyone
the Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping of course :-)
