Hello, i am developing a new Emacs clone, called "Zile". It is about 90% completed, but i would like to know the impressions of some people that usually uses some others Emacs editors. The sources are available at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/zile-1.0a.tar.gz It is not big (only 50k). Consider this *ALPHA* software (not all the functions are implemented, then please do not distribuite it). There are some gross bugs, consider reading the KNOWNBUGS file. It works pretty under Linux 2.0.x and FreeBSD-2.2.x. A little cut and paste from the README: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Zile -- ``Zile is lossy Emacs'' Zile is another Emacs-clone, but a lot small. Zile does not contains all the features of Emacs, but is useful enough to be put on a rescue disk occupying only a few kilobytes, or to do minor modifications to some files without loading the huge Emacs editor. Zile was written with ``Emacs-cloning'' in mind: every Emacs user should feel at home with Zile. Zile features: - Multi buffer editing - 8-bit clean - Killing/Yanking (1 level) - Registers - Colors - Source highlighting (`C' only for now) Major key differences from Emacs: - `M-h' replaces `C-h' (for resolving the boring backspace/delete problem). - HOME is bound to `beginning-of-line', not `beginning-of-buffer'. - END is bound to `end-of-line', not `end-of-buffer'. - PGUP and PGDN will move the cursor to the beginning or end of buffer if the beginning or the end buffer page is already displayed. - `C-x C-n' is bound to `next-buffer'. - `C-x C-p' is bound to `previous-buffer'. Zile requires ncurses for compilation. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thanks in advance. Regards, -sandro
