About XEmacs:
|
|
|
|
XEmacs (formerly known as Lucid Emacs) is a powerful, extensible text
|
|
editor with full GUI support, initially based on an early version of
|
|
GNU Emacs 19 from the Free Software Foundation and since kept up to
|
|
date with recent versions of that product. XEmacs stems from a
|
|
collaboration of Lucid, Inc. with Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the
|
|
University of Illinois with additional support having been provided by
|
|
Amdahl Corporation, INS Engineering Corporation, and a huge amount of
|
|
volunteer effort.
|
|
|
|
XEmacs provides a great number of new features. More details on
|
|
XEmacs's functionality, including bundled packages, can be obtained
|
|
through the info on-line information system.
|
|
|
|
The XEmacs web page can be browsed, using any WWW browser at
|
|
|
|
http://www.xemacs.org/
|
|
|
|
Note that W3 (XEmacs's own browser), might need customization (due to
|
|
firewalls) in order to work correctly.
|
|
|
|
XEmacs is the result of the time and effort of many people. The
|
|

|
