	Gosling Emacs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gosling Emacs (often seen shortened to "Gosmacs") was an Emacs implementation written in 1981 by James Gosling in C; it was the first Emacs to run under Unix.
		Gosling initially allowed Gosling Emacs to be redistributed with no formal restrictions, but later sold it to UniPress.
		Gosling Emacs was especially notable for its efficient redisplay code, which used a dynamic programming technique to solve the classical string-to-string correction problem.

	Emacs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emacs is a class of text editors, possessing an extensive set of features, that is popular with computer programmers and other technically-proficient computer users.
		Many versions of Emacs have appeared over the years, but nowadays there are two that are commonly used: GNU Emacs, written by Richard Stallman beginning in 1984, and XEmacs, a mostly-compatible fork of GNU Emacs that was started in 1991.
		In 1984, Stallman began working on GNU Emacs to produce a free software alternative to Gosling Emacs; intially it was based on Gosling Emacs, but Stallman replaced the Mocklisp interpreter at its heart with a true Lisp interpreter, which entailed replacing nearly all of the code.

		Emacs (originally for “Editor Macros,” and later “Extensible Macro System”) is a display and text editor (qv) distributed as free software (qv) by Richard Stallman and the GNU Project (qv).
		Emacs was not the first real-time editor, but it achieved popularity by facilitating the growth of customizations and extensions to the software.
		Emacs was first written by Stallman in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT in the mid-1970s.

	[Chapter 1] Yet Another Language?
		Gosling first made a name for himself in the early '80s as the author of Gosling Emacs, the first version of the popular Emacs editor that was written in C and ran under UNIX.
		Gosling Emacs became popular, but was soon eclipsed by a free version, GNU Emacs, written by Emacs's original designer.
		Gosling and his teammates began programming in C++, but they soon found themselves confounded by a language that was too complex, unwieldy, and insecure for the task.

	The Short History of the Development of Emacs and XEmacs
		Emacs is probably the oldest editor in wide usage (may be IBM's Xedit is the only competitor), a dinosaur from the long forgotten era of Tops-20 and PDP-10 computers.
		Gosling Emacs, the first Emacs to run on Unix, was written by James Gosling in 1981.
		Actually Gosling Emacs indirectly gave birth to GPL as it was RMS reaction to commercializing of Gosling Emacs.

		Emacs (i.e., the version distributed by the FSF) has a larger installed base and supports character terminals, while XEmacs can do some clever tricks with X Windows, such as putting arbitrary graphics in a buffer.
		Emacs and XEmacs each come with Lisp packages that are lacking in the other; RMS says that the FSF would include more packages that come with XEmacs, but that the XEmacs maintainers don't always keep track of the authors of contributed code, which makes it impossible for the FSF to have certain legal papers signed.
		XEmacs vs. GNU Emacs There are currently irreconcilable differences in the views about technical, programming, design and organizational matters between RMS and the XEmacs development team which provide little hope for a merge to take place in the short-term future.

	An EMACS Primer
		EMACS is a powerful text file editor that has been much emulated by others.
		Emacs stores a history of commands that have been entered through the minibuffer and commands can be recalled by pressing the up-arrow key.
		Emacs then checks the file back into SCCS for you and changes the file buffer back to read-only mode.

	XEmacs Internals Manual: A History of Emacs

		ITS, TECO, and Emacs were products of a group of people at MIT who called themselves "hackers", who shared an idealistic belief system about the free exchange of information and were fanatical in their devotion to and time spent with computers.
		Lucid soon began incorporating features from GNU Emacs 19 into Lucid Emacs; for the first year, the work was mostly done by Richard Mlynarik, who had been working on and using GNU Emacs for a long time (back as far as version 16 or 17).

	Otaku, Cedric's weblog: Stallman, Gosling and a bit of emacs history
		Tired with his position and also upset by the constant delay that emacs 19 was incurring, a group of people decided to fork off gnuemacs and start a new project intended to gather all the latest technologies that were picking up steam fast.
		Lucid Emacs was a high-quality implementation of emacs and its very innovative support for the mouse and other graphic features made it an instant hit in the emacs community.
		The height of the debate was reached when it was pointed out that despite all his critiques of Lucid Emacs, Stallman had apparently not even try to run it.

	My Lisp Experiences and the Development of GNU Emacs - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		The interesting idea about Emacs was that it had a programming language, and the user's editing commands would be written in that interpreted programming language, so that you could load new commands into your editor while you were editing.
		Multics Emacs proved to be a great success -- programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it.
		He wrote in a manual that he called the program Emacs hoping that others in the community would improve it until it was worthy of that name.

	The History of the GNU General Public License
		Gosling initally allowed free distribution of the Gosling Emacs source code, which Stallman used in early 1985 in the first version (15.34) of GNU Emacs.
		Gosling later sold rights to Gosling Emacs to UniPress, and Gosling Emacs became UniPress Emacs.
		Gosling originally had set up his Emacs and distributed it free and gotten many people to help develop it, under the expectation based on Gosling's own words in his own manual that he was going to follow the same spirit that I started with the original Emacs.

		This emulation does not work through major modes, and it is possible to switch buffers in various ways within the emulator.
