Brief can also split the screen both ways, scroll vertically and horizontally,
manipulate rectangular regions of text. It has two macro languages: the
original LISP-like macro language and the new C-like macro language. Just
like Epsilon, a large part of Brief is written in the extension langauage,
and the compiler and source is provided.
Brief has a much more intuitive user interface than the EMACS interface
Epsilon uses. And the recently released Brief 3.1 has mouse support.
