- mg (editor)
-
mg, originally called MicroGnuEmacs, (and later changed at the request of Richard Stallman[1]), is a public-domain text editor that runs on Unix-like operating systems. It is based on MicroEMACS, but intended to more closely resemble GNU Emacs while still maintaining a small memory footprint and fast speed. An expanded version of the original is included as part of OpenBSD.
