GNU Zile is Lossy Emacs

Zile is a small, fast, and powerful Emacs clone. It is useful for small footprint installations (e.g. on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions. Festures include:

  • Small.

    It is very useful for small footprint installations (like on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions. A typical binary is about 100Kb.

  • 8-bit clean.

    Zile can operate with binary files.

  • Looks like Emacs.

    Most Zile key sequences and function names are identical to Emacs ones.

  • Multi buffer editing with multi level undo.

    The number of files and undo operations that Zile can handle is limited only by memory.

  • Multi window.

    Zile can display multiple windows on the screen.

  • Killing, yanking and registers.

    The standard killing, yanking and register features of Emacs are available under Zile.

  • Minibuffer completion.

    Zile can complete commands and filenames in the minibuffer.

  • Auto fill (word wrap).

    Zile automatically breaks the lines when they become too wide (if the Auto Fill Mode is enabled).
