Zile is a UNIX text editor. It was conceived as a small clone of the popular Emacs text editor. The goal was to write an editor that is as close to Emacs as possible. In the tradition of recursive acronyms, Zile stands for Zile is lossy Emacs. Zile is distinguished by a very small RAM footprint, of approximately 100kB, and it fits comfortably on a floppy disk. It is 8-bit clean, allowing it to be used on any sort of file.

Zile's keyboard shortcuts are designed to resemble those of Emacs. It incorporates many standard Emacs features, including:

• Multi buffer editing with multi level undo
• Multi window
• Killing, yanking and registers
• Minibuffer completion
• Auto fill (word wrap)
