GNU Emacs 18.59, Amiga RELEASE 1.28 ----------------------------------- 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. This version (1.28) is an update on version 1.26. It tracks the update from GNU Emacs 18.58 to 18.59. 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 ... This port was originally based on that of Mark Henning (gnuemacs v1.10), but after having made rather extensive modifications, added numerous features and updated it to Emacs 18.59, I decided to release it myself.
