Alpaca Description

Free and open source application that will allow you to edit text and RTF documents. Alpaca is a text editor for authors designed for use with Mac OS X. Alpaca is a Cocoa application that uses Apple's Aqua user interface.Alpaca is also a Common Lisp application, written using the open-source OpenMCL compiler. Alpaca uses the Objective-C bridge that is included with OpenMCL to create a Cocoa application in Common Lisp.Alpaca is highly programmable. Along with the Objective-C bridge Alpaca has the complete OpenMCL Common Lisp language built into it which enables it to interact smoothly with the Cocoa environment.Alpaca intercepts almost all keystrokes and can bind them to Lisp functions that you write. Using loadable Common Lisp code you can rewrite almost any aspect of Alpaca's behavior.Alpaca is intended for authors rather than for software developers. Although it intentionally shares characteristics with Emacs, it was conceived by an author of fiction and technical books for authors of fiction and technical books, and so its feature set and emphasis are different from those of Emacs.
