"Copy" is a little strong: inspired by, certainly, by way of help/help,
but there's an amazing difference in the structure of acme as "text editor

with many independent clients accessing it through the file system.
Oberon had a more conventional module "plug-in" structure within a single
process.
Acme's user interface is also more strictly text-oriented, and streamlined
the mouse conventions.
