The mg editor in OpenBSD 5.3. Editing Ruby source code mg , originally called MicroGnuEmacs (and later changed at the request of Richard Stallman ), is a public-domain text editor that runs on Unix-like operating systems . It is based on MicroEMACS , but intended to more closely resemble GNU Emacs while still maintaining a small memory footprint and fast speed. An expanded version of the original is included as part of OpenBSD , where it is maintained, and snapshots of the OpenBSD version are available in the native package management trees of many other systems, including MacPorts , FreeBSD Ports , pkgsrc and Debian .
