  Description     : The GNU Emacs editor on GNUstep
 This is GNU Emacs ported to OS X and GNUstep, based on the earlier
 Rhapsody, OPENSTEP, and NeXTSTEP versions.
 .
 This port offers superior platform support for MacOS X and GNUstep,
 including full desktop integration (dock, drag/drop, etc.), standard
 keybindings, use of standard Font, Color, and File open/save panels,
 and support for Services. Via GNUstep, it provides anti-aliased font
 rendering on Linux and other Unix systems.
 .
 The port is based on GNU Emacs 20.7, which is one behind the latest
 version. Emacs 21 added mostly UI features, not core editing
 functionality. The UI is nicer though and furthermore some Lisp packages
 have started requiring Emacs 21. So there are plans to update this port
 to version 21 once the 20.7-based version is fully stabilized. Contact
 the developers to get involved.
