This FAQ document is Copyright 1990,1,2,3,4,5 by Craig A. Finseth.

It may be reproduced and archived as part of normal network
distribution.  Such distribution is assumed to include CD/ROM or other
bulk, unedited distribution.

It may be reproduced for individual or non-commerical use provided
that it is reproduced intact.

It may be reproduced for commercial use provided:

.- it is reproduced essentially intact including all copyright
.  notices and acknowledgements,

.- the publisher obtains the latest version directly from the
.  FAQ maintainer (using the above FTP/WWW site is acceptable),

.- the publisher provides the FAQ maintainer with information
.  on what collection the copy of the FAQ is in, and how that
.  collection may be obtained,

.- all material modifications (other than formatting) are
.  clearly marked.


This document provides a partial -- and not comprehensive -- list of
implementations of Emacs-type editors and literature about such
editors.  You can help make it more comprehensive by sending me
additional information and/or updates.

This document is also gradually acquiring the role of a repository of
(at least) Emacs-related history.  While that subject requires a book
to itself, this document will probably serve until someone (_not_ me!)
writes one.

This document is available via anonymous FTP and WWW.  See above URLs.

To be included in this list:

- A piece of literature should be a book, manual, article, paper, or
something that covers (or mentions) Emacs in particular or text
editing techniques in general.  Specifically excluded are items that
are only of interest to non-Emacs users (a book on "how to use vi") or
vendor manuals for Emacs implementations (as those are implicitly
included in the implementations).  Non-vendor (i.e., third party)
manuals are included.

- An implementation must either (1) be "advertised" as being an
Emacs-type editor or (2) be extensible and come with an Emacs command
set "mode" already written.  Editors that are extensible but do not
come with such a mode (i.e., you have to write it yourself) are not
listed.

The following information is included for each implementation:

The NAME line contains the name of the implementation.
Implementations are listed alphabetically by name.  Acronym expansions
are listed in ()s.  Other acronyms:

.TECO.TAPE Editor and COrrector (later: Text Editor and COrrector)
.EMACS.Editor MACroS

The LAST CHANGED/VERIFIED line contains the date that the entry was
last changed or an explict "looks ok to me" was received.  This field
was added 1994-12-20, so all entries were initialized to that value.

The ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION is the date (or partial date) of the first
release.  It is in YYYY-MM-DD format.

The VERSION is the latest known version.  It is probably out of date.

The BASE LANGUAGE is the language that you need a compiler or
interpreter for in order to use the editor.  If the software is
distributed as a pre-compiled binary, this should be the language that
the program was written in.

The IMPLEMENTATION LANGUAGE is the language that the bulk of the
implementation is written in.

The EXTENSION LANGUAGE is the (often custom or modified) language that
the is used when altering or writing extensions to the implementation.
It is "none" if there is no extension language.

The SCOPE is either "command set" or "extensible."  In the first case,
the implementation offers a basic Emacs command set; however the user
cannot readily change what the commands do.  In the second case, the
user can fully control what all of the commands do.

The REQUIREMENTS is a brief characterization of what hardware or
software is required.  The purpose of this item is to offer a broad
selection key; not be a comprehensive list.  You should consult the
implementation (for free software) or the vendor to find out whether a
specific implementation works in your environment.  For example:

- "UNIX" refers to any version of UNIX(tm) from any vendor.

- "IBM PC" is used to cover MS/DOS, OS/2, and Windows implementations.

(Starting Dec 1994 the list will support an additional level of detail
for IBM PCs.)

- "DOS" refers to MS/DOS support.  May also run under Windows or OS/2
in some mode.
- "Windows" refers to Microsoft Windows support.
- "OS/2" refers to to OS/2 support.
- "Windows NT" refers to Microsoft Windows NT support.

The ORGANIZATION is the name of and contact information for the
implementor OR >CURRENT MAINTAINER<.

The STATUS is one of

.- no longer available: Self-explanatory.

.- free: The implementation is available to most people at no
.charge.  Even such "free" implementations may have
.restrictions: consult information about the particular
.implementation.  Where available, information on how to obtain
.a copy is also listed.

.- not free: The implementation is for sale.  Contact the
.vendor for specifics.

Many of the names of the implementations in this list are trademarked.
Specific trademarks are not called out.

Full source code is available for all of the free implementations.
Source availability varies among the not free implementations: check
with the vendor before you buy.

note: the name is an abbreviation of "Anti-MISAER" (where "AE" is the
"ae" glyph).  "Misaer" is Swedish (svenska) for "piece of junk, or
deep shit functionality" (translation provided by the person who told
me about this) The name thus means "not a piece of junk."
Tops10, RSTS, Norsk Data versions are free, send them a
.1/2 inch, 2400-foot magnetic tape and return postage
VMS version is $1000 US (the money supports their DEC10 museum)

Addendum from Jesper Larsson <Jesper.Larsson@dna.lth.se>:
.This is not quite correct. First, if "misAEr" is the Swedish
.word, "AE" should not be the "ae" glyph (not used in Swedish
.-- maybe it's spelled that way in Norwegian), but an "a" with
.two dots above it. Secondly, this word actually means
."destitution" or "penury". It is closely related to the
.English word "misery".

original distribution: 1994-04-24
version: 4.1
base language: Objective C
implementation language: Lisp
extension language: Lisp
scope of implementation: extensible
hardware/software requirements: Any hardware/software which GNU Emacs
.19.28 runs on in general.  To use the added NeXTstep features
.requires NeXTstep 3.x or later (for best results 3.3 or later)
.on any hardware platform supported by NeXTstep.

.-  Source on ftp.cs.orst.edu in
.  pub/next/sources/editors/Emacs_for_NeXTstep_4.1.src.NIHS.s.tar.gz.
note: Emacs for NeXTstep 4.1 is a superset of GNU Emacs 19.28 with
which it shares most of the code.  The main change is that this Emacs
supports the NeXTstep window system on the same level as GNU Emacs
supports the X window system.  It continues to fully support the X
window system as well.

Also, this may be new information on the same release: Emacs.app, a
full port of GNU Emacs to NeXTstep also supporting NS features, runs
on Intel, NeXT, and HP hardware.

There are also two mailing lists for Emacs for NS,
<emacs-for-ns-users@lists.princeton.edu> and
<emacs-for-ns-announce@lists.princeton.edu>.  The former is intended
for general discussion and allows anybody to post.  The latter
restricts posting and should contain only a handful of announcements
of new releases every year.  Both of these lists are handled by the
CREN Listproc which means that you can subscribe and unsubscribe
automatically.  For example, to subscribe to emacs-for-ns-users I'd
send a message with the content `SUBSCRIBE emacs-for-ns-users Carl
Edman' to <listproc@lists.princeton.edu>.  For more details write to
the same address with the content `HELP'.

This is the second public release of Emacs for NeXTstep (**).

** So why in the world is it called version 4.1 ?  To avoid confusion
   with the older Emacs.app interface (lately up to version 3.1) which
   is completely unrelated except for the fact that its author,
   Michael Brouwer, has been a major contributor to this project as
   well.  And even he has replaced the old Emacs.app with Emacs for
   NeXTstep.

Notes: InfoDock is an integrated productivity toolset, mainly aimed at

    and so has all of the power of Emacs, but with an easier to use and
    more comprehensive menu-based user interface.  We find that most
    objections people raise to using Emacs have already been addressed
    in InfoDock.

note from Carl Hoffman: Probably Multics Emacs' greatest claims to
.fame are (1) having been the first to popularize the notion of
.using a Lisp-like extension language which non-expert
.programmers could use and understand, and (2) originating
.certain constructs (e.g.  "save-excursion", etc.) which today
.survive in GNU Emacs.

note from Bernard Greenberg:
.Multics Emacs was implemented in Multics MacLisp, also known
.as Version 2 Lisp.  Multics Emacs was the first and only
.Multics Software Product in Lisp -- PL/I was the official
.system language.

.The notion of using Lisp for a mainframe product whose native
.language was not Lisp was radical at the time. I chose Lisp
.because of the possibility of implementing many small, cheap,
.modular, easily-replaceable functions (not a possibility in
.PL/I), having found this to be a major feature of an earlier
.private tool I implemented in Multics MacLisp.
.
.The notion of using Lisp on the Lisp machine (for Eine, and
.later Zwei) was a requirement, not an innovation.  It did not
.speak to the issues of the suitability of Lisp for such a task,
.nor to that of what would be the best language for such a task.
.The idea of -choosing- Lisp  for a mainframe editor implementation
.was innovated here.  The idea of augmenting Multics
.TECO, and that of writing a TECO-like editor gut in flat-out
.PL/I were rejected by me in favor of a Lisp program that
.implemented editor functionality.

.Inspired by the TECO in which EMACS (on ITS, then the only
.program using that name) was implemented, I designed a
.TECO-like control and "point" manipulation model in a Lisp
.framework, which I thought was natural and obvious, not at all
.similar to the buffer-pointer passing model of the Lisp
.Machine editors.  The natural combination of Lisp macrology
.and scoping with this type of model proved to be flexible,
.powerful, and appealing:  this model caught on, and
.is now the basis of everything in the world; the Lisp
.machine's did not.  The intellectual lineage of GNU Emacs, in
.these regards, comes directly from James Gosling's Emacs,
.which came directly from (and was credited to) Multics Emacs.

.I rank the significant innovations of Multics Emacs as:
.(1) Explicitly-designed extension languages, which could be
.    understood and used by non-experts.
.(2) Lisp as an editor implementation language.
.(3) Lisp and Lisp-macros as an extension language.
.(4) A control regime and macrology, including many names
.    (e.g., "save-excursion"), that have become today become
.    semi-standard through GNU Emacs and other systems.

.Major extensions that became part of the product should also
.be credited to Richard Lamson, Gary Palter, and William York,
.who became my guerilla band, back then.

Note: Win-Emacs is derived from XEmacs 19.6 (nee Lucid Emacs).
Win-Emacs is a native MS-Window app which supports multiple windows,
fonts, code highlighting, arbitrary keymapping, DDE, winsock, long
filenames, drag-and-drop, etc. Version. 1.5 is a Win32s app with most
Unix features (e.g. asynch. subprocesses).  The free version of
Win-Emacs is based on a nagware X emulator: a nag screen pops up every
half-hour; otherwise it is precisely identical to the supported
commercial version of Win-Emacs.  Debatable whether this should be
moved into the "versions that cost" category.

.Z80EMACS is a port of microemacs 3.6 to the CP/M operating
system.  Microemacs keeps all data in memory, and CP/M must live in a
64KB address space. By clever use of overlays and byte-squeezing and
tuning, Z80EMACS is able to edit files of size 30KB!
.microemacs 3.6 had no facility for remapping the keyboard
bindings.  Z80EMACS does it with an offline utility.
.Z80EMACS uses overlays extensively, but the most frequently
used commands are all either in the root segment or in one particular
overlay. Since this overlay is usually already in memory, performance
is quite good, even when running from floppies.
.Z80EMACS has the ability to edit multiple files, display
multiple windows, and do keyboard macros, among other things. This
makes it the spiffiest CP/M editor you could ever hope to see.
.Z80EMACS comes with source and binaries; it was compiled with
AZTEC C, which few CP/Mmers have, so the binaries are more likely to
be useful than the source.

.This editor identifies itself as "Emacs", and has HP-style
soft labels for the first eight function keys hard-bound to "file
commands," "window commands," "buffer commands," etc.
.Versions 1.1 and 2.1 are known to exist.  Other versions may
also have escaped.  1.1 was written in Microsoft C and 8088 assembler
1.0 (or was that 2.0?) in about 1985.  2.1 was written using Microsoft
C 3.0 in about 1986.  All versions work quite usably, despite fatal
bugs in some commands.  (Memory limits and large files can cause
death, "ESC-digit" causes immediate death.)  ("If it dies when you do
that, stop doing it!")
