  • EMacro 2.8.8

    This is the last single-user version of EMacro. Future releases will require root access to a shared folder, for even easier packaging and install in the future.

    Emacs with EMacro gives you everything you expect in a modern editor:
    msft extended cua bindings: C-c, C-x, C-v
    copy cut & past popup menu
    extensive online help menus
    on-the-fly spell checking that doesn't get in the way (requires
    aspell/ispell/spell in PATH)
    tabbed toolbar
    syntax coloring
    and, of course, easy installation!
    Emacs is also famous for its innovations that later show up in other
    editors.

    Here are the installation particulars:
    Existing EMacro users
    Read the ChangeLog, to see what's new
    Always run e-refresh to remove ~/emacs/preferences/e-*cache.el
    If you run Gnome or w32, they should also delete/comment out the
    "use-browser" line in
    ~/emacs/preferences/e-prefs.el so that EMacro will respect changes
    in the system default browser.

    New EMacro users
    First, install the Emacs or XEmacs editor
    Be sure to also grab both EMacro Libs and the deprecated EMacro Libs
    Old from
    <url: http://emacro.sf.net/ >
    You will want the libraries in the 'Libs Old, unless you have built
    Emacs from CVS, or you are reading this announcement after Summer 2004
    If you run a Linux compatible system, also grab setuphome.sh, which
    copies the config files from
    /etc/skel/ to your HOME directory (including the hidden .emacs file)
    If all else fails, read the docs in ~/emacs/doc/, which mirror the web docs

  • EMacro 2.8.4 - Furlan's Gold

    EMacro, the easy .emacs editor configuration system now better supports the native look & feel of your desktop. It's been mostly tested on Red Hat, Microsoft Windows 2000 & XP and Cygwin.

    Let us know your OS version and Editor version, and if you'd like to follow easy instructions to package for your platform.

  • Tramp with EMacro 2.7.2 beta

    I have been working with Kai Grossjohann, author of Tramp, to get it working smoothly under MS Windows.
    The results are in EMacro Libs v0.9.
    I had problems testing an older release of XEmacs native. However, a newer Cygwin based version of XEmacs tested well, as does Emacs.
    Let us know how well Tramp/EMacro work for you, by providing feedback to http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/tramp/
    or
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacro/
