This is the README for EmacsApp.3.0.N.bs.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

EmacsApp-3.0.tar.Z contains the source obtained from Emacs-3.0.tar.Z
plus the compiled Emacs.app.  

This is an excerpt of the file README in Emacs-3.0.tar.Z

NOTE: Emacs-3.0 works only on machines running NextSTEP 3.0 or higher.

The "Emacs" front-end has several advantages over running GNU emacs
inside Terminal.  The "Alternate" key works as a meta key (as God
intended it to be :-).  The "Cut" and "Copy" menu commands send the
region to the pasteboard.  The "Paste" menu command sends the
pasteboard to the current buffer and the "Undo" menu command works as
expected.  Mouse clicks are interpreted in a reasonable manner (see
the help window and/or lisp/eterm-fns.el for details).  In addition, 
you can make Emacs the default editor.  And as if that weren't enough,
it also comes with a cutesy icon.
