GOSMACS: /goz'maks/ n. [contraction of `Gosling EMACS'] The
first EMACS-in-C implementation, predating but now largely
eclipsed by GNUMACS. Originally freeware; a commercial version
was modestly popular as `UniPress EMACS' during the 1980s. The
author, James Gosling, went on to invent NeWS and the programming
language Java; the latter earned him demigod status.
