- If you're an Emacs junky and need something for DOS, then you should
- use Epsilon instead of Brief. While not exactly GnuEmacs, Epsilon is
- real close; close enough that you won't really notice during normal
- use. It has the usual slew of features, plus some nice additions:
-
- Session checkpointing
- bookmarks
- dos shell in a buffer
- compile support
- grep facility
- handles files larger than available memory
- xms/ems support
- C-like extension language (no lisp :-( )
- etc.
- reasonable price
- good tech support
-
- Note: I have no connection with Lugaru Software, other than being a
- satisfied customer.
