I'm compiling a list of the acronyms used in naming members of the Emacs family. Names of programs that contain other names, or references to Emacs, are especially sought. For example: MINT - "Mint is not TRAC" - underlying language of FREEMACS Please email me names and short descriptions. Summaries upon request. -chris <WEBSTER@DAL.BITNET>

MINCE, Mince is not EMACS, a CP/M and PC-DOS emacs-like editor, customizable

GNU - GNU is Not UNIX JOVE - Jonathan's Own Version of EMACS MINCE - Mince is Not Complete Emacs By the way, UniPress has an entire wall of their technical office covered with proposed explanations of the "EMACS" acronym.

EINE (German for "one") means, as you say, "Eine is Not Emacs". ZWEI (German for "two") means "Zwei was Eine Initially." I believe these were the development names for the original LISP Machine (CADR's) Emacs's at MIT. Someone at MIT want to fill us in? Stuart

After Eine, of course, came Zwei: Zwei Was Eine Initially (or maybe Zwei
Was Emacs Initially?).

The version of emacs in INRIA's Centaur system (an experimental system for generating programming environments) is called PEPE -- PEPE Est Presque EMACS. Have you included DIRE -- DIRE Is Really Emacs ? My favourite acronym is the one Graeme Ritchie came up with for Tony Cohn's many sorted logic. LLAMA -- Logic Lacking A Meaningful Acronym.
