About the history of Emacs

[Xue Fuqiao]

I have 2 questions about the history of Emacs:

1. What does `Emacs' stand for?
In these pages:
   http://www.finseth.com/emacs.html
   http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.html#Origin-of-the-term-Emacs
   http://www.multicians.org/mepap.html#secii
   http://www.codeartnow.com/hacker-art-1/macsimizing-teco
Emacs stands for `Editor MACroS', but in these pages:
   http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsHistory
   http://www.lysator.liu.se/history/garb/txt/87-1-emacs.txt
Emacs stands for `Editing MACroS'.

2. About the first Emacs.
In these pages:
   http://www.gnu.org/press/2001-10-22-Emacs.html
   http://shop.fsf.org/product/gnu-emacs-manual-16th-edition/
The first Emacs was written by RMS in 1975, but in these pages:
   http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsHistory
   http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.html#Origin-of-the-term-Emacs
   http://www.jwz.org/doc/emacs-timeline.html
The first Emacs was written in 1976.

Does somebody know the `real' history?
