MicroEMACS is a tool for creating and changing documents,
|
|
programs, and other text files. It is both relatively easy for the
|
|
novice to use, but also very powerful in the hands of an expert.
|
|
MicroEMACS can be extensively customized for the needs of the individual
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
MicroEMACS allows several files to be edited at the same time.
|
|
The screen can be split into different windows and screens, and text may
|
|
be moved freely from one window on any screen to the next. Depending on
|
|
the type of file being edited, MicroEMACS can change how it behaves to
|
|
make editing simple. Editing standard text files, program files and
|
|
word processing documents are all possible at the same time.
|
|
|
|
There are extensive capabilities to make word processing and
|
|
editing easier. These include commands for string searching and
|
|
replacing, paragraph reformatting and deleting, automatic word wrapping,
|
|
word move and deletes, easy case controlling, and automatic word counts.
|
|
|
|
For complex and repetitive editing tasks editing macroes can be
|
|
written. These macroes allow the user a great degree of flexibility in
|
|
determining how MicroEMACS behaves. Also, any and all the commands can
|
|
be used by any keystroke by changing, or rebinding, what commands
|
|
various keys invoke.
|
|
|
|
Special features are also available to perform a diverse set of
|
|
operations such as file encryption, automatic backup file generation,
|
|
entabbing and detabbing lines, executing operating system commands and
|
|
filtering of text through other programs (like SORT to allow sorting
|
|
text).
