Kurz:         AmigaDOS Portierung von MicroEmacs 3.12

Requires: AmigaDOS 2.04 or newer, never tested with 1.3 (maybe it runs)

Version:  3.12g

MicroEmacs 3.12 ported to AmigaDOS
==================================

This port of the MicroEmacs editor is currently unfinished (The binary runs,
but there are some bugs to be fixed). I currently do not have the time to
finish the port, so maybe someone else would like to do this (which is the
reason, why I publish it in this state, together with the source code).

Changes:
========
1) MicroEmacs now opens its window on an own Screen (see ttopen() ...)
2) It is now font sensitive (you can use Courier 13 as system default
   font instead of Topaz 8, as I do)
3) It runs on my Picasso II (it's graphics board compatible)
4) It has some support for international keyboards now (previously it was
   nearly completely useless for users with non-US keyboards).
5) It compiles with SAS/C 6.56 now (previously the makefile was for
   Aztec 3.6a)

Bugs to be fixed:
=================
1) After pressing Ctrl-X Ctrl-R (open file) and answering the file requester
   MicroEmacs keyboard is in Ctrl mode (you have to press the Ctrl-key again
   to switch it back to the normal mode). See filereq() in amigados.c and
   call to filereq() in input.c

Todo list:
==========
Menu system like in the Windows port (Should be not too complicated).
AREXX port (this could be difficult).


The port was done using SAS/C 6.56 for AmigaDOS.
