EMACS is a well-known programmer's editor in use all over the world. This
is a public domain version that has been modified so that it can be compiled
with the DeSmet C Compiler for PC/MS-DOS. It requires the files PCIO.O and
EXEC.O to be included in the BIND command. These files are part of the
DeSmet compiler package.
Included in this package are the files:
README.DOC This text file.
BINDINGS.DOC A list of key bindings.
EMACS.EXE The executable file.
As well as the following source code files:
ED.H DISPLAY.C BASIC.C WORD.C
BUFFER.C FILE.C FILEIO.C LINE.C
MAIN.C RANDOM.C REGION.C SEARCH.C
SPAWN.C WINDOW.C
No documentation on EMACS commands is included, and it is assumed that the
user is interested in this editor because he/she is already with EMACS.
One source of introductory material on EMACS might be the documentation
that comes with any of the many PC-DOS EMACS "look-alikes", such as
MINCE and EPSILON. In addition, most large computer systems (with the
likely exception of IBM) probably have a version of EMACS running on them.
If you find that you don't particularly care for the choice of key bindings
in this implementation, you can always edit the table called "keytab"
found in MAIN.C and recompile.
There are a few known bugs in this implementation. In particular, the global
search and query replace does not return to the point of invocation, but
rather leaves the cursor at the last replacement. EMACS' knowledge of
whether or not the buffer is modified, and what buffers it has is sometimes
incorrect. It also seems that the first space bar strike after invoking
EMACS is ignored. Finally, although you can have multiple windows on the
screen, display update performance is severely impaired. If you discover the
cause of these (or other bugs), and have a fix, please let me know.
Modified for DeSmet C, and compiled with the Key Software Products
O88 optimizer for DeSmet C, Feb. 1986.
