Zile project is a small Emacs clone. Zile is a customizable, self-documenting real-time open-source display editor. Zile was written to be as similar as possible to Emacs; every Emacs user should feel at home.

Here are some key features of "Zile is Lossy Emacs":

Small:
· It is very useful for small footprint installations (like on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions. A typical binary is about 100Kb.

8-bit clean:
· Zile can operate with binary files.

Looks like Emacs:
· Most Zile key sequences and function names are identical to Emacs ones.

Multi buffer editing with multi level undo:
· The number of files and undo operations that Zile can handle is limited only by memory.

Multi window:
· Zile can display multiple windows on the screen.

Killing, yanking and registers:
· The standard killing, yanking and register features of Emacs are available under Zile.

Minibuffer completion:
· Zile can complete commands and filenames in the minibuffer.

Auto fill (word wrap):
· Zile automatically breaks the lines when they become too wide (if the Auto Fill Mode is enabled).
