README.mg3

This is Mg3a, a public domain MicroEMACS-based editor with commands
and key-bindings similar to GNU Emacs.  It is a development of the
earlier public domain Mg2a editor, with the addition of functions to
deal with UTF-8, CRLF/LF line endings, and some other updates.

The original README and documents for Mg2a are in orig/.

If you are on Cygwin, Mg3a now defaults to LF line endings. You can
set them to CRLF by putting this in a file .mg in your home directory:

  (set-default-mode "crlf")

If you have files in an old 8-bit character set, and if you are in a
UTF-8 locale, you may want to add a command to set the default 8bit
character set. Default is CP1252. For example:

  (set-default-8bit-charset "cp1250")

"list-charsets" lists the available charsets.


Commands are documented in README.reference. README.programmer and
README.misc include some extra info. README.bindings lists the default
bindings.


bl/   contains some examples of mg init files.
sys/  contains some files useful for various systems.


Compiling with "make" creates an "mg" in the current directory. There
is an "install" entry in the Makefile for Linux/BSD/OSX.
