TECFA's Emacs Page

XEmacs is a Unix text editor, and much more. XEmacs provides a comprehensive X windows enviroment where you can edit source code, or multiple text files, read mail or news, and even edit files remotely using FTP. XEmacs is a version of Emacs, compatible with and containing many improvements over GNU Emacs, written by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation.
(En français : ) Emacs est un puissant éditeur de texte, programmable et extensible. C'est un riche environnement de programmation, de formattage de texte, de lecture d'article Usenet et de messages électroniques, c'est aussi un gestionnaire de fichiers et un client ftp très efficace, ainsi qu'un arpenteur web et un shell.
