Zile Is Lossy Emacs

Zile is another Emacs-clone. Zile is a customizable, self-documenting real-time open-source display editor.

Zile was written to be as similar as possible to Emacs; every Emacs user should feel at home with Zile. Zile features

* Small but fast and powerful. It is very useful for small footprint installations (like on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions. * 8-bit clean. Zile can operate with binary files. * Looks like Emacs. Most Zile key sequences and function names are identical to Emacs ones. * Multi buffer editing w/multi level undo. Zile can open an infinite number of files and can record an infinite sequence of undo operations. * Multi window. Zile can display multiple windows on the screen. * Killing, yanking and registers. The typical killing, yanking and register features of Emacs are available under Zile. * Minibuffer completion. Zile can complete the user written text. This is very useful for M-x commands and for selecting files. * Colors. Zile makes use of the color capatibilities of the terminal if available. * Source highlighting (``C'', ``C++'', and shell scripts). Zile can highlight ``C'', ``C++'' source files and shell scripts for better reading. * Auto fill (word wrap). Zile automatically breaks the lines when they become too wide (if the Auto Fill Mode is enabled).
