+jasspa (enhanced microemacs text editor)
+
+Jasspa's MicroEmacs is an Emacs editor biased towards UNIX users,
+working across platforms by providing a consistent interface under
+UNIX, Microsoft Windows 3.1/'95/'98/NT/2K/XP and DOS operating systems.
+It features syntax highlighling, folding, multiple undo/redo, macro
+languge, organizer, mailer, calendar, multiple frames and windows and
+much more See it's internal help for full list of features.
+
+Jasspa is a descendant of the original microemacs, with a lot of
+additions.
+
+About the slackbuild script:
+  - The official way to build jasspa is to use the script named 'build'
+    from the source distribution which autodetects a few things, so I use
+    this script, but if I use this script I have to patch linux2.gmk
+    and linux26.gmk.
+
+  - there is a special version called nanoemacs (ne) which is a small
+    macro-less minimal version, only useful for extremly minimal
+    installations, so I do not provide a build variant for it, because I
+    think it is not so useful.
+
+  - Note, that while the package contains an updated macros collection
+    from 2009.10.17, the version is 091011. This is intentional, the
+    macros collection contains some minor fixes, but according to
+    http://www.jasspa.com/downsrc.html: "The official baseline for 2009
+    is 2009.10.11 ...", so the VERSION is 091011.
