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.

Since neither of these ports works correctly on all architectures, point
prospective users to editors/emacs instead, via the DEPRECATED directive.
However, no expiration date is set at this time.
