emacs
The best way to edit Macaulay 2 code or to run Macaulay 2 is with GNU
emacs, a versatile text editor written by Richard Stallman which
runs well under most UNIX systems. Its
web page is http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html
and the software can be obtained from one of the ftp sites listed
at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html; the primary ftp
site is ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu.
There is a version of emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95 called NTemacs.
See http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html for
details about how to get it, as well as information about how to swap your
caps lock and control keys.
