Posted to comp.editors, comp.emacs, alt.religion.emacs, alt.answers, comp.answers, news.answers Description 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: o 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. o 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 It is probably out of date.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: o "UNIX" refers to any version of UNIX(tm) from any vendor. o "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.) o "DOS" refers to MS/DOS support. May also run under Windows or OS/2 in some mode. - "Windows" refers to Microsoft Windows support. o "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 o no longer available: Self-explanatory. o 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. o 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.

"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".

Except as a newsreader/browser, I simply cannot stand it! True, everybody always has trouble when they try to use some editor other than the one they're used to, but there's more to it than that: Everything takes more keystrokes to do than I'm used to, and you have to remember all sorts of long names filled with dashes. Its dired mode stinks because when you edit a file, there's no simple command to leave that file and go back up. (It has recursive edit, but doesn't use it because it thinks that might confuse you; by contrast, bzdired is recursive edit first and foremost.) The effort it takes to learn how to customize it is greater than the effort it would take to write a new editor from scratch. (Perhaps I exaggerate a bit...) ... To be fair about it, bzdired can't use the mouse unless you recompile your xterm (a patch is included), wants you to program it in a write-only language, and worst of all isn't even 8-bit-clean."

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.

Note: Another Micro Emacs 2 derivative extended by the possibility to act as a Unix-like shell on the Atari ST. Gulam is a command line interpreter. The Atari ST (an MC68000-based personal computer) version was released as a non-profit distribution to the public in 1987. It is now kept in all the anonymous FTP archives for that machine. It was in daily use by thousands. It integrated an Emacs-like editor, command line history, etc. into a very compact program. These features are now common-place in modern shells.

Davis davis@space.mit.edu free, anonymous FTP from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/jed http://space.mit.edu/%7Edavis/jed.html From a user: ...and I think it is worth to mention that JED (which is the "GNUishest" of all the non-GNU implementations -- almost *every* keystroke is like within GNU/XEmacs) has the complete editing part of the AUCTEX-package built in, with BibTeX-mode, so if you have to edit La/BibTeX-source outside your home/business, JED might be your first choice. And, what's more than that: JED runs on the smallest PC systems used these days: in the library etc. I take my Toshiba T1000 (which was the first laptop and has a 4.77 MHz CPU in it: 512 KB RAM, *no* HD and a single FD) -- and works like a charm since it loads the necessary modules into memory only when needed (dired etc.). Unlike "freemacs" (which was my favourite editor before JED) it can manage files over 64 KBytes in size and it is further under development. Since it runs on Linux to (with a special XJed binary) I use it for quick tasks on my desktop, too.

It is built atop the XEmacs variant of GNU Emacs and so has all of the power of Emacs, but with a much easier to use and more comprehensive menu and toolbar-based user interface. We find that most objections people raise to using Emacs have already been addressed in InfoDock. See http://www.altrasoft.com for more information.

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.

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. Ben Wing, the main author of Win-Emacs, is now the most productive active developer of XEmacs. Most features of Win-Emacs have been added to XEmacs.

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.
