This just in from the Info-Apple ARPA mailing list -- thought I
should spread the word.

I think you people may indeed be interested in the following ad
I picked up at Tech Square the other day...

EMACS & Apples?

 Yes, it's true! Now the famous display editor that was once available only
on mainframes can run on your Apple //e or //c computer.

AMACS is THE definitive editor for the Apple.

If you own an Apple, then you know that there is a dearth of competent text
editors available for your machine. The writing of AMACS was prompted by this
state, and now this state no longer exists.

Features:

	Keyboard Macros			   Winchester disk compatibility

	LispM style matching parenthesis  Multiple buffers

	M-X completing reader		   Numeric and string arguments

	Two Window Mode			   Ultra-fast booting

	Comprehensive manual		   Auto fill and Atom word minor modes

	Lisp, Merlin, C, Pascal, Text, and Fundamental modes

	User-definable ergonomics, from M-X set key to blinker speed


AMACS's Merlin Mode is perfect for editing assembler code, with special
commands for that assembler's style. In fact, AMACS was incestuously written
using AMACS's own Merlin Mode. Source code is available as an option, and can
be assembled, and linked with the Merlin assembler.
