- Hi all,
-
- There has been an on-going project called "MULE," which is
- a multi-ligual GNU EMACS. I wonder if those folks who wrote GNU EMACS for
- the Amiga would be interested in porting MULE over to the Amiga. Just now
- the Amiga lacks a good multi-ligual text editor, MULE might be a good
- alternative.
-
- Yours Sincerely,
- Kelvin

- Mule Beta Release Announcement
-
- We have started beta testing Mule (MULtilingual Enhancement
- to GNU Emacs) and are now trying to find "rugged" users who
- are familiar with both GNU Emacs and one of the languages
- that Mule can support.
-
- Mule is a modified version of GNU Emacs 18.58, it is
- distributed as a complete tar file or as a patch to 18.58.
- Mule can support a larger set of characters sets, such as
- Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Europeans.
-
- Mule can handle all these languages in the *same* buffer,
- meaning that you can mix text from different languages.
- (Neat if you are translating from one language to another.)
-
- Mule supports the following inputting methods:
- ENGLISH: Just type in. :-)
- JAPANESE: You have plenty of choises.
- EGG, EGG-SJ3, CANNA (these are bundled with Mule),
- SKK, boiled-egg (these are in 'contrib' directory).
- CHINESE, KOREAN, EUROPEAN:
- Please use 'quail' system.
-
- New input methods should not be that hard to write. If you
- run Mule under a specilized terminal emulator (such as
- exterm or cxterm) which supports an input method you can use
- that.
-
- As for Chinese handling, please look into hz2gb.el in
- contrib/lisp.tar.Z. This allows quite convenient way to
- read and post articles of newsgroup alt.chinese.text for a
- GNUS user.
-
- As for fonts of European characters, Mr. Takahashi
- contributed 14dots and 24dots fonts for Latin1,2,3,4,5,
- Greek and Cyrillic. Those fonts are in fonts/ETL.tar.Z.
-
- Mule is available by anonymous ftp from:
-
- etlport.etl.go.jp [192.31.197.99]:/pub/mule
- sh.wide.ad.jp [133.4.11.11]:/JAPAN/mule
-
- If you are accessing from out of Japan, please use the
- latter site, which is faster. Either ftp the complete tar
- file, *or* if you have an unmodified GNU Emacs 18.58 you can
- ftp just the patch file diff-18.58-0.9.5 and apply that.
-
- Please send me a mail when you ftp Mule. I'll put your name
- in Mule's mailing list. Please gather together and write
- code for free input methods, or sign up to port an existing
- input method.
