Zile is a free software Emacs-like UNIX text editor. Written by Sandro Sigala and later maintained by Reuben Thomas, Zile's goal is to be similar to GNU Emacs but with a very small size. In the tradition of recursive acronyms, Zile stands for Zile Is Lossy Emacs. Zile is distinguished by a very small RAM Memory footprint, of approximately 100kB, and it fits comfortably on a floppy disk. It is 8-bit clean, allowing it to be used on any sort of file.

Zile's keyboard shortcuts are designed to resemble those of Emacs. It incorporates many standard Emacs features, including:

• Multi buffer editing with multi level undo
• Multi window
• Killing, yanking and registers
• Minibuffer completion
• Auto fill (word wrap)
