Several days ago, I posted a note saying that GNU Emacs was not based
on James Gosling's Unix Emacs.  While GNU Emacs currently does not contain
any of Gosling's code, several people have sent me information (including
one who sent me a copy of a posting RMS made to the "gnu.emacs" newsgroup)
that RMS originally started with Gosling's pre-Unipress code.

I stand corrected - thanks to everyone who sent me this information!
