MicroGNUEmacs for the Amiga

This diskette contains the Amiga version of MicroGNUEmacs (MG), a small
but powerful text editor that runs on many other computer systems
besides the Amiga.  One of MG's major goals is to be compatible with its
cousin GNU Emacs, so certain features you may have seen in other
versions of MicroEmacs may ork differently here, or not exist.
Hopefully, you'll find the added features MG provides to be worth the
trouble it takes to make the switch. 

As well as all the standard MG commands, available on *all* systems MG
supports, Amiga MG also supports many Amiga-specific features: the Amiga
mouse (with 24 different functions!), Intuition pull-down menus, Amiga
function keys, an 80-column editing window *or* a standard Intuition
resizable window, and limited support for using a different text font in
the editing window. 

Contents:

Read Me First

	This file.

Read Me Second

	The README file for all versions of MG.  It contains a brief
	description of MG and its predecessors, and gives credit to
	the many people involved in the development of MG.

MG

	The editor itself.  This copy of MG was compiled under Intuition
	1.1 using Manx Aztec C (3.20a).  MG can also be compiled using
	Lattice C (see sys/amiga/Makefile.#? for more information).

	There are *many* compile-time options that one can turn on and
	off when compiling MG.  The copy on this diskette was compiled
	with just about everything turned on; if you read about a
	feature in "Amiga Doc", you should be able to use this copy to
	test it out.

	A request to all you hackers out there: if you play around with
	MG and compile in your own changes (or take things out) and then
	give it away, PLEASE GIVE AWAY A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL ALSO!
	It's not fair to give customized software away to someone who's
	expecting it to work like the documentation says... 

.mg

	A sample initialization file for MG.  Since MG is specifically
	designed to be compatible with versions on other systems, there
	are a few things that aren't automatically set up when you
	invoke the default version. The startup file lets you take care
	of these adjustments, customize keys and do other things, like
	invoke auto-fill mode or otherwise initialize the editor
	automatically.

	If you install MG in your C: directory, you should copy .mg to
	the S: directory, so MG can find it no matter where your current
	directory may be.

Functions

	A list of all functions supported by the system-independent part
	of MG.   This includes the bulk of the editing functions.

Amiga Doc

	Documentation on the Amiga-specific functions supported by Amiga
	MG, including information about compilation, the mouse, the
	Browser, function keys, and the like. 

:MG1a/#?

	Sources (in C) for *all* versions of MG, not simply the Amiga.
	This includes support for Unix (BSD and SysV), OS9/68K, and VMS.
	You may never need to learn another editor :-).  Specific
	documentation for various versions is sprinkled among the
	directories for each system and terminal. 

	Once again, if you give a copy of MG to someone else, please
	give them the entire diskette; someone down the line might be
	very happy you did.

Cheers,
