I am a hardcore Unix hacker who happens to own an Amiga 2000. So I am
looking for tools which will duplicate most of the functionality of a Unix
system. MicroEMACS 1.3 is a reasonable editor, even if I do have to remap 5
or 6 functions to where I'm used to having them (what fool made ^X^F
save-exit? Jeez....). However, the one feature I miss most about Emacs is
undo--the simple ability to undo the last couple of changes you made. It
can't be that hard to implement, and it shouldn't take that much memory.
However, I have yet to find an implementation of Emacs for the Amiga which
includes it and still runs in one megabyte of memory.
Are there any editors (Emacs-like or otherwise) which implement Undo?

CygnusEd Professional has almost unlimited undo capability. I think the size of the buffer is configurable, but its default size of 90K is usually just fine for me. Not only that, if you change your mind, you can undo the undo. It's not Emacs-like, although I think it comes with a set of macros to make it look very much like Emacs if you're so inclined.

CygnusED 2.1 (or whatever the version is) supports virtually unlimited UNDOing on a per operation basis. You can rebind the default key and menu operations to any sequence of keystrokes, but only using the record and playback method of macro programming and then saving the whole thing There is no (obvious) way of binding keys from a text file. The only other annoying thing about CED is that you can't have unseen buffers, they are all visible (though resizable). I gather that a new version is due RSN. CED has a lot of very nice features too, including fast startup, AREXX support and full 8bit character support (sort of allows you to edit binaries).

Yes, there is an editor that has undo. The newest version of Cygnus Ed does it. The nice thing about Cygnus Ed is its ability to customize the keyboard shortcuts. Emacs shortcuts are supported.(sounds like music,yes?) %include "some_joke.h"
