[ale] Integrated Development Environment

[Lisa Chiang]

I'm using XEmacs since it is a little bit more GUI-oriented as it has a menubar
with drop down menus that provide most of the basic functions.

A good book to learn XEmacs is Jesper Pedersen's "Teach Yourself Emacs in 24
Hours" by SAMS.  This book covers both Emacs and XEmacs which is difficult to
find.  It also includes a CD-ROM which has GNU Emacs and NT Emacs (Windows
platform actually) for those interested.

One of the nice thing about Emacs is the ability to generate a tags file for
all your source code modules and then do a search through all those files for
function definitions, etc... without loading all the files at startup.

Also, I don't think that there's a language out there that someone hasn't
written a package for, C, C++, Matlab, Java, Lisp (of course), Scilab, Python,
- the list goes on and on.
