- Short: Amiga GNU Emacs V1.26, sources
-
- Emacs is a very powerful, but sometimes cryptic, text editor. Its basic
- features are similar to those of the MEmacs editor which comes with
- AmigaDOS (in the Tools directory), but has numerous other facilities:
- - unlimited undo.
- - language specific editing, with automatic (re)indentation.
- - a dialect of lisp as extension language, leading to extreme
- reconfigurability.
- - abbreviations for commonly typed words.
- - complete on-line manual.
- - powerful search & replace facilities (including wildcards).
-
- In this Amiga version, I have tried to make it easier to use with menus,
- mouse, clipboard, rexx and workbench support.
-
- Since the previous release (1.25), two main features have been added:
- - complete process support (so you can now run compilations, shells, etc
- inside emacs).
- - workbenchification: emacs can now create icons, be run from the workbench,
- etc.
-
- System requirements:
- - AmigaDOS 2.04
- - At least 2MB of memory (emacs uses about 750k + memory for the files
- being edited).
- - 2.5MB of free disk space for the binary version, 8MB for the
- source version (but you can remove some of the files once it has been
- installed).
- - Emacs works with a 68000 (A500,A2000), but is a bit slow. It is very
- pleasant to use with a 68030/25MHz ...
-
- The following distributions are available:
-
- o binary only:
- All the files necessary to use emacs. Has only a subset of the lisp files,
- the rest may be got from a standard emacs distribution.
- Distribution: ftp:
- site: amiga.physik.unizh.ch (130.60.80.80) (or its mirrors).

-

-
- This port was originally based on that of Mark Henning (gnuemacs
- v1.10), but after having made rather extensive modifications, added
- numerous features and ported 18.57 (and now 18.58), I decided to
- release it myself.
