# editors/mg - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Small, fast, public domain EMACS style editor

    This is the portable version of the OpenBSD mg editor

    Mg (mg) is a Public Domain EMACS style editor.  It is "broadly"
    compatible with GNU Emacs, the latest creation of Richard M.
    Stallman, Chief GNUisance and inventor of Emacs.  GNU Emacs (and other
    portions of GNU as they are released) are essentially free, (there are
    handling charges for obtaining it) and so is Mg.  You may never have
    to learn another editor.  (But probably will, at least long enough to
    port Mg...)  Mg was formerly named MicroGnuEmacs, the name change was
    done at the request of Richard Stallman.

    Mg is not associated with the GNU project, and most of it does not
    have the copyright restrictions present in GNU Emacs.  (However, some
    of the system dependent modules and the regular expression module do
    have copyright notices.  Look at the source code for exact
    copyright restrictions.)  The Mg authors individually may or may not
    agree with the opinions expressed by Richard Stallman in "The GNU
    Manifesto".

    This program is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for
    people who can't (or don't want to) run real Emacs for one reason
    or another.  It is compatible with GNU because there shouldn't be
    any reason to learn more than one Emacs flavor.
