Hi,It has been brought to my attention that I (current maintainer of Zile) need to fill in this questionnaire (I've started the FSF copyright assignment process for Zile and been told that it is currently on hold while I apply for Zile to be accepted as a GNU package).
Zile Is Lossy Emacs: it's an Emacs clone designed for small-footprint use, being more portable and much smaller than Emacs.
* General Information ** Do you agree to follow GNU policies? Yes. ** Package name and version:Zile 2.2.57 (unreleased; current version is 2.2.56, but it is not compliant with some of the GNU guidelines, so I'm currently modifying the code to ensure that it is).
** Author Full Name <Email>: Reuben Rhys Thomas <address@hidden> ** URL to home page (if any): http://rrt.sc3d.org/ ** URL to sources (if any): http://sourceforge.net/projects/zile/ ** Brief description of the package:Zile is a small, fast, and powerful Emacs clone. It is useful for small footprint installations (e.g. on floppy disk), machines with little memory, or quick editing sessions, especially on remote machines or as a different user, e.g. root.
* Code ** Dependencies: C, POSIX, ncurses. ** Configuration & compilation: GNU autotools. ** Documentation: TeXInfo, man. * Licensing:GPL for source code, GFDL for TeXInfo documentation, all-permissive for some trivial scripts and text files.
* Similar projects:Emacs (differences already explained); mg (similar, not a GNU program, has a different feature set, aimed more at self-sufficiency, e.g. supporting compile and dired, but without some of the text editing features that Zile possesses; not 100% Emacs compatible).
* Any other information, comments, or questions:
None.
