- NAME:
- MEMACS : the most powerful editor that comes with AmigaDOS.
-
- SYNOPSIS:
- MEMACS [<file>] [GOTO nn] [OPT W]
-
- TEMPLATE:
- MEMACS
-
- PATH:
- SYS:Tools
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- MEMACS in an Amiga version of the Public Domain Micro Emacs
- Editor. MEMACS is more powerful than ED and friendlier than EDIT.
- Amiga user who don't have a hard disk must specify the full path to
- call MEMACS: Extras1.3:Tools/Memacs . For hard disk user, the Tools
- directory is in the path, so MEMACS is sufficient to start the editor.
- To make things simpler, the best is to define an alias in the startup
- sequence:
-
- alias MEMACS Extras1.3:Tools/MEMACS
-
- MEMACS is menu driven, and so is easy to use. A full description
- of its features, is given in the AmigaDOS manual.
- MEMACS takes a file name as the first argument, but don't need
- one. If started without argument, MEMACS edits a new unnamed file.
-
- OPTIONS:
- GOTO nn: with this option, MEMACS opens a file and go directly to the
- line nn.
- OPT W : with this option, MEMACS opens a window in the Workbench
- screen. Otherwise, MEMACS opens its own screen. This option is
- useful mainly on system that are short of memory.
-
- SEE ALSO:
- ED, EDIT.
