<P>The name ``Emacs'' was originally chosen as an abbreviation of Editor MACroS.
<P>The original Emacs implementation was written for the Incompatible
Timesharing System (ITS) as a collection of TECO macros for ITS TECO. There was
a custom of giving such macro packages names ending in ``mac'' or ``macs''. A
further reason for choosing this particular name was that the abbreviation ``e''
was unused at the time on ITS. <BR></P>
