Jotting down some notes about EINE and successors.

New page

''EINE'' is a text editor for the [[MIT]] [[LISP machine]]s. It means ''EINE is not EMACS'', as announced by Daniel Weinreb on August 8th 1977.

EINE adopted the [[EMACS]] user interface going back to early 1977 when it was just called the ''Lisp machine editor''. Its entry point ''(ED)'' can be found as early as 1975, but at that point the user interface had not been implemented.

Weinreb reimplemented the text editor as ''ZWEI'' with help from Mike McMahon. Future iterations were renamed Zmacs.
