## Overview

- **MINCE** is an Emacs-like text editor from **Mark of the Unicorn, Inc.**

  - Versions were available for many operating sysetms

    - **CP/M‑80**

    - **CP/M‑68K**

    - **ST**/**GEMDOS**

    - **PC**/**DOS**

    - **RSX‑11**

    - **VAX/VMS**

    * **Wicat MCS**

    - **UNIX**

## Portable MINCE

- "**Portable MINCE**" is _real_ **MINCE**, plus:

  - **CP/M** system call translation

  - **8080/Z80** CPU emulation

    - **68000** support planned

## Building

- **Required**:

  - ANSI/ISO C compiler (`gcc`, `clang`, _etc_.)

  - POSIX `cmp`, `env`, and `sh` (_Bourne_ _shell_)

  - GNU `make`

- **Optional**:

  - Tcl `expect` and POSIX `sed`

    - Needed to override default terminal configuration (24 cols, 80 rows).

- Review the [Makefile](/GNUmakefile) for more information.

## Usage

- **MINCE** Online Documentation

  - [Introduction](doc/prgintro.doc)

  - [Command Summary](doc/scomm.doc)

  - [Character Set](doc/ascii.txt)

- **MINCE** Printed Documentation

  - [Getting Started](manual/MINCE_Install_Guide.pdf)

  - [User Guide](manual/MINCE_User_Guide.pdf)

  - [Addendum: Version 2.6](manual/MINCE_Addendum.pdf)

  - **SYSTEM V/68** (VME/10) Release 2 Version 1.0, SGS 1.5 (3/13/83)

    - **Issue**: `"ccpu.c", line 2142: compiler error: switch table overflow`

## Roadmap

- End-user configuration system, customizable via file or environment variables.

- Avoid main input busywait/spin‑loop to reduce idle CPU usage.

- Translation of line endings at run time (_use_ `dos2unix` _as_ _a_

  _workaround_).

- Translation of `PgUp` / `PgDn` / `Home` / `End` / cursor control / arrow keys.

- Build with GCC `‑fno‑common` and reduce `‑Wall` warnings.

- Support crash recovery (by parsing `mince.swp`) in case of unclean exit.

- Add support for external filters, such as hexadecimal mode (via `xxd`).

- Support for automatic terminal resizing (_by catching and handling

  **SIGWINCH**_).

- Allow building **MINCE** binaries with various extensions; produce

  verified/tested configurations.

- Build and integrate **Scribble**, **Pencil**, and **Crayon**.

  - Automatic setup for **ANSI**/**ASME** _**Y14.1**_ (_US_) and _ISO_-_**216**_

    (_EU_) paper types.

  - End‑user run time switching between different printer defintions.

  - Support for rendering (_NEC_, _Epson_, _Diablo_, etc.) proportional font

    printer output.

  - Conversion of Crayon output to _PDF_, _PostScript_, etc.

  - Automate **Scribble** formatting to (_n_)_roff_ / _groff_, (_X_)_HTML_,

    _TeX_ / _LaTeX_, etc. (utilizing **Pandoc** or similar tools for

    conversion).

- Add Motorola **68000** CPU core for **CP/M‑68K** to support **MINCE‑68K**.

  - Automatically invoke **MINCE‑68K** version for large input files.

  - End-user configuration of default **MINCE** flavor (**MINCE‑80** or

    **MINCE‑68K**).

- User-configurable key bindings and mapping.

  - Allow user configuration _without_ requiring full recompilation.

  - Normalize key bindings and mappings between **MINCE** flavors.

- Support for **RSX‑11**, **VMS**, and **OS/2** operating systems.

- Create packages using **NFPM** / **FPM**, **Homebrew** _tap_ / _cask_,

  **pkgsrc**, etc.
