From the README:

			     What is ME2?
			     ---- -- ----

   ME2 is a medium-small, portable, extendable Emacs' like editor that
is known to compile and run on HP-UX (Series 800, 700 and 300), BSD Unix
(Sun, Apollo, DEC, etc), IBM AIX, OSF/POSIX (HP and DEC), MS-DOS/PC-DOS
(IBM PCs and compatibles), OS/2 and Atari (TOS and MiNT).  Standalone,
ME2 is pretty mundane - you need to customize it to make full use of it.
A compiled language is provided for this as well as lots of example
programs:  a C mode, paren matching, a visual towers of hanoi,
incremental searching, programmers calculator, mark rings, multi file
search (and replace) picture mode (from GNU Emacs), gomoku (from GNU
Emacs) and lots more.  Other features include undo and the ability to
have concurrent processes (such as make) running in a buffer (Unix
only).
