Montgomery Code in CCA EMACS?

[Joe Chapman]

In message 4433@mit-eddie, Joaquim Martillo noted that file names in CCA
EMACS are similar to file names in Warren Montgomery's EMACS, and that
the general flavor of the code was the same.

Versions of CCA EMACS up to and including version 162.35z had contained
some portions of Warren Montgomery's EMACS version 4.0, which was
developed by Mr. Montgomery at Bell Laboratories. Beginning with CCA
EMACS version 162.36z, CCA EMACS no longer contained any of the code
from Mr. Montgomery's EMACS, or any methods or concepts which would be
known only by programmers familiar with BTL EMACS of any version. CCA
has not shipped any versions of CCA EMACS earlier than version 162.36z
since January, 1983. Moreover, in June of 1983, CCA offered to replace
at its own expense existing earlier versions with one containing not a
smidgeon of Mr. Montgomery's code.
