GOSMACS
 /goz'maks/, n.

   [contraction of `Gosling EMACS'] The first {EMACS}-in-C
   implementation, predating but now largely eclipsed by {GNUMACS}.
   Originally freeware; a commercial version was modestly popular as
   `UniPress EMACS' during the 1980s. The author, James Gosling, went on
   to invent {NeWS} and the programming language Java; the latter earned
   him {demigod} status.
