It is easily +extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp. + +XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending +(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running +subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print +loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and +many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp +that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser. + +XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different +display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the +ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say +it looks nicer than GNU Emacs. + +Web site: http://www.xemacs.org |
