NAME

       ng - small lightweight Emacs-like editor

SYNOPSIS

       ng [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       ng is Nihongo Mg, MicroGnuEmacs. This name indicates it is Japanized version of Mg. It can
       handle ASCII, ISO-2022-JP, Shift-JIS, and EUC-JP as well as EUC-KR and EUC-CN(GB and CNS),
       while  Latin  are  also  supported.  Be  aware  these  CJK  support  and Latin support are
       exclusive.

       ng is just a wrapper script. It calls either ng-latin, ng-cjk or ng-cjk-canna according to
       locale-related  environmental variable, LC_ALL and LANG. If you want to override this act,
       You can use an environmental variable NG. Set  this  to  what  you  prefer  among  the  ng
       families.
