MicroGNUEmacs for the Amiga

	This directory contains the latest Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs
	(MG 1b), a small but powerful text editor that also runs on many
	other computer systems besides the Amiga. 

	One of MG's major goals is to be compatible with its "cousin"
	GNU Emacs, so certain features you may have seen in other
	versions of MicroEmacs may work differently here, or not exist.
	Hopefully, you'll find the added features MG provides to be
	worth the trouble it takes to make the switch. 

	As well as the commands available on *all* systems MG supports,
	Amiga MG has many Amiga-specific features: the Amiga mouse (with
	24 different functions!), Intuition pull-down menus, the Browser
	(a very nice way to select files), Amiga function keys, a
	full-screen editing window, and support for using a different
	text font in the editing window. 

Contents of this directory:

:Read Me

	This file.

:MG

	The editor itself.  The copy of MG on this disk was compiled
	under Intuition 1.2 using Manx Aztec C 3.20a, using the 3.20a
	(Workbench 1.1) include files.  MG can also be compiled using
	Lattice C (see sys/amiga/Makefile.LATTICE for more information).

	There are *many* compile-time options that one can turn on and
	off when compiling MG.  The copy on this diskette was compiled
	with just about everything turned on; if you read about a
	feature in "Amiga Doc", you should be able to use this copy to
	test it.

	A request to all you hackers out there: if you play around with
	MG and compile in your own changes (or take things out) and then
	give it away, PLEASE GIVE AWAY A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL!  It's not
	fair to give customized software away to someone who's expecting
	it to work like the documentation says...

:Tutorial

	A tutorial for MG, created by Randy Spencer from the GNU Emacs
	tutorial.  To invoke the tutorial from the Workbench, just click
	on the Tutorial icon.  To invoke it from the CLI, change your
	current directory :mg1b, then issue the command command
		mg tutorial

	While in the tutorial, you may accidentally modify it and then
	end up saving the changes.  There is a copy of the tutorial in
	Tutorial.backup for just this reason.

:Startup.Doc

	Information on how to create and use MG startup files.  Since MG
	is specifically designed to be compatible with versions on other
	systems, there are some things that aren't automatically set up
	when you invoke the default version. The startup file lets you
	take care of these adjustments.

:Example.mg

	A sample initialization file for MG.  You can modify this file
	and copy it into s:.mg, so MG can find it no matter where your
	current directory may be.

:Functions

	A list of the functions supported by the system-independent part
	of MG.  This includes the bulk of the editing functions.

:Amiga.Doc

	Documentation on the Amiga-specific functions supported by Amiga
	MG, including information about compilation options, the mouse,
	the Browser, rebinding function keys, and the like.
