XEmacs
XEmacs is a highly
customizable open source console based and graphical text editor and
application development system. XEmacs has
full color support on a color-capable character terminal.
It is an extension of the popular GNU Emacs,
more powerful by handling commands written in Lisp. Almost
all features of Emacs
are supported by XEmacs.
XEmacs was initially based on an early version of Emacs
19 and receives regular updates. The software 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.
