+Mg is a small, fast, portable, and free (public domain) Emacs-like
+editor maintained by the OpenBSD Project. It is intended for people
+who can't, or don't want to, run the real GNU Emacs, or are not
+familiar with the vi(1) editor.
+
+Although it is intended to be largely compatible with GNU Emacs, Mg
+doesn't have special modes for tasks other than editing plain text.
+Moreover, since it is written entirely in C, there is no language in
+which to write extensions in (read: no builtin Lisp interpreter).
+
+If you are looking for something that looks like Emacs (don't want to
+learn another editor) but don't have the resources to run the latter,
+this may be what you're looking for.
+
+Enjoy!
