pkgsrc/editors/emacs21/DESCR
drochner 1e748a667c first cut on a pkg for emacs-21.2
derived from our emacs-20.7 pkg; IPv6 and newer NetBSD platform/toolchain
support appear to be included in the original sources, so I've only
left in the patches which deal with info file installation and the "emacs-"
prefix for user tools

GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
display editor.
Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
(Doctor :-) and many more.
