ZWEI (ZWEI Was EINE, Initially, also German: two) was an early (~1980s) Emacs-like text editor written by Daniel Weinreb and Mike McMahon for the Lisp machine. It is the successor of the editor EINE (which is the feminine of a/one in German). Innovations by it include programmability in Lisp, and a new and more flexible method of internally representing buffers. It would later become Symbolics' editor of choice for its Lisp machine development environment, Zmacs. ZWEI is the editor library used for Zmacs (the editor), Zmail (the mail client) and Converse (a message client) in the Symbolic...
Within the computer subculture known as the demoscene, a non-interactive multimedia presentation is called a demo (or demonstration). Demogroups create demos to demonstrate their abilities in programming, music, drawing, and 3D modeling. The key difference between a classical animation and a demo is that the display of a demo is computed in real time, making computing power considerations the biggest challenge. Demos are mostly composed of 3D animations mixed with 2D effects and full screen effects.
The boot block demos of the 1980s, demos that were created to fit within the small (ge...
