-[This is an edited version of the original mg README, updated slightly to
-reflect changes in the last 20 years.]
-
-
-Mg (mg) is a Public Domain EMACS style editor. It is "broadly"
-compatible with GNU Emacs, the latest creation of Richard M.
-Stallman, Chief GNUisance and inventor of Emacs. GNU Emacs (and other
-portions of GNU as they are released) are essentially free, (there are
-handling charges for obtaining it) and so is Mg. You may never have
-to learn another editor. (But probably will, at least long enough to
-port Mg...) Mg was formerly named MicroGnuEmacs, the name change was
-done at the request of Richard Stallman.
-
-Mg is not associated with the GNU project, and most of it does not
-have the copyright restrictions present in GNU Emacs. (However, some
-of the system dependent modules and the regular expression module do
-have copyright notices. Look at the source code for exact
-copyright restrictions.) The Mg authors individually may or may not
-agree with the opinions expressed by Richard Stallman in "The GNU
-Manifesto".
-
-This program is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for
-people who can't (or don't want to) run real Emacs for one reason
-or another. It is compatible with GNU because there shouldn't be
-any reason to learn more than one Emacs flavor.
-
-
-Beyond the work of Dave Conroy, author of the original public domain
-v30, the current version contains the work of:
-
- blarson@ecla.usc.edu Bob Larson
- mic@emx.utexas.edu Mic Kaczmarczik
- mwm@violet.berkeley.edu Mike Meyer
- sandra@cs.utah.edu Sandra Loosemore
- mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu Michael Portuesi
- RCKG01M@CALSTATE.BITNET Stephen Walton
- hakanson@mist.cs.orst.edu Marion Hakanson
-
-People who have worked on previous versions of Mg:
-
- rtech!daveb@sun.com Dave Brower
-
-Currently maintained in the OpenBSD src tree, with contributions from
-many others.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Known limitations:
-
-Recursive bindings may cause help and key rebinding code to go into
-an infinite loop, aborting with a stack overflow.
-
-Overwrite mode does not work in macros. (Characters are inserted
-rather than overwriting.)
-
-Dired mode has some problems: Rename does not update the buffer.
-Doing a dired again will update the buffer (whether it needs it or
-not) and will lose any marks for deletion. .. and . are not
-recognized as special cases.
-
-On systems with 16 bit integers, the kill buffer cannot exceed 32767
-bytes.
-
-
-
-New implementation oddities:
-
-insert and define-key are new commands corresponding to the mocklisp
-functions in Gnu Emacs. (Mg does not have non-command functions.)
-(Mg's insert will only insert one string.)
-
-The display wrap code does not work at all like that of GNU emacs.
