COMPANY PROFILES

This section describes how a company profile should be incorporated into MicroEmacs 2025. A company profile defines a set of extensions to MicroEmacs which encapsulate settings which are used on a company wide basis. This type of configuration is typically used with a networked (shared) installation. The company profile would typically include:-

• Name of the company.
• Standard header files including company copyright statements.
• Standard file layouts
• Company defined language extensions.

Location Of The Company Information

It is suggested that all of the company extensions applied to MicroEmacs are performed in a separate directory location which shadows the MicroEmacs standard macro file directory. This enables the original files to be sourced if a user does not want to include the company files. This method also allows MicroEmacs to be updated in the future, whilst retaining the company files.

The company files are generally placed in the company sub-directory described in the installation notes.
