Subject: GNU Emacs 18.58, Amiga RELEASE 1.26, available for download
Emacs is a very powerful, but sometimes cryptic, text editor. Its basic
features are similar to those of the MEmacs editor which comes with
AmigaDOS (in the Tools directory), but has numerous other facilities:
- unlimited undo.
- language specific editing, with automatic (re)indentation.
- a dialect of lisp as extension language, leading to extreme
reconfigurability.
- abbreviations for commonly typed words.
- complete on-line manual.
- powerful search & replace facilities (including wildcards).
In this Amiga version, I have tried to make it easier to use with menus,
mouse, clipboard, rexx and workbench support.
Since the previous release (1.25), two main features have been added:
- complete process support (so you can now run compilations, shells, etc
inside emacs).
- workbenchification: emacs can now create icons, be run from the workbench,
etc.
System requirements:
- AmigaDOS 2.04
- At least 2MB of memory (emacs uses about 750k + memory for the files
being edited).
- 2.5MB of free disk space for the binary version, 8MB for the
source version (but you can remove some of the files once it has been
installed).
- Emacs works with a 68000 (A500,A2000), but is a bit slow. It is very
pleasant to use with a 68030/25MHz ...
The following distributions are available:
o binary only:
All the files necessary to use emacs. Has only a subset of the lisp files,
the rest may be got from a standard emacs distribution.
Distribution: ftp:
site: amiga.physik.unizh.ch (130.60.80.80) (or its mirrors).
file: amiga/util/gnu/a1.26-emacs-18.58-bin.LHA
o full amiga version:
All the files necessary to compile emacs, all the lisp files, etc.
Some of the source files of the Unix or VMS versions are not included.
This source is written for SAS C 5.10b.
Distribution: ftp:
site: amiga.physik.unizh.ch (130.60.80.80) (or its mirrors).

o Complete distribution, latest version

This port was originally based on that of Mark Henning (gnuemacs
v1.10), but after having made rather extensive modifications, added
numerous features and ported 18.57 (and now 18.58), I decided to
release it myself.
