Anybody here have any recommendations for a decent pub (serving lunch) along the Downs Link from Horsham to Shoreham-by-Sea or even in Shoreham itself? I'm looking for a good pit stop along the way to Brighton (I know plenty of places in Brighton I'm hoping to stop before getting there).
I'm aware of two very good cafés along the route.

Thanks for this. Despite many years of use, I still daily learn something new about Emacs. 🙂

Is building Emacs from source an option? I do this on my system and install it in my own directories. No need for SU rights. However, the necessary development libraries have to be available.
