What is XEmacs?
XEmacs is a highly customizable open source text editor and
application development system. It is protected under the GNU
Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in
particular GNU
Emacs. Its emphasis is on modern graphical user
interface support and an open software development model, similar
to Linux. XEmacs has an active development community numbering in
the hundreds, and runs on Windows 95 and NT, Linux and nearly
every other version of Unix in existence. Support for XEmacs has
been supplied by Sun Microsystems, University of
Illinois, Lucid, ETL/Electrotechnical Laboratory, Amdahl
Corporation, BeOpen, and others, as well as the unpaid
time of a great number of individual developers.
Web and FTP hosting graciously provided by
Sourceforge,
SunSITE.dk and
tux.org as well as
many world-wide
FTP site
and Web
site mirrors.
As a common saying goes: Objects in mirror are closer than
they appear.
XEmacs Website Mirrors exist on following continents. Pick the
continent where your internet service provider resides, which is
not always the continent you may sit on. This is most likely to
matter when you work for an international company with no local
internet connection.
