this is a portable version of the mg editor from openbsd by an openbsd developer who did a bunch of overhaul work on the version of mg found in the openbsd base system.

mg is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for people who can't (or don't want to) run emacs for one reason or another, or are not familiar with the vi editor. it is compatible with emacs because there shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi.
