[contraction of `Gosling EMACS'] The first {EMACS}-in-C
implementation, predating but now largely eclipsed by {GNUMACS}.
Originally freeware; a commercial version was modestly popular as
`UniPress EMACS' during the 1980s. The author, James Gosling, went on
to invent {NeWS} and the programming language Java; the latter earned
him {demigod} status.
