464 (about-with-face "The Lucid, Inc. Point of View"
467 At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name of
468 XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++ development
469 environment. Rather than invent (and force our users to learn) a new
470 user interface, we chose to build part of our environment on top of
471 the world's best editor, GNU Emacs. (Though our product is
472 commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free software, and is
473 useful in its own right.)
475 We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions, multiple
476 fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as read-only, the
477 ability to detect which parts of a buffer have been modified, and many
480 For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it
481 did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons in buffers, `undo' did
482 not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and merge
483 their attributes in the way we needed, and several other things.
485 We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed (and,
486 in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since the FSF
487 planned to include Epoch-like features in their version 19, we decided
488 that our efforts would be better spent improving Emacs 19 instead of
491 Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be incorporated
492 into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling conflicts arose, and
493 we found that, given the amount of work still remaining to be done, we
494 didn't have the time or manpower to do the level of coordination that
495 would be necessary to get our changes accepted by the FSF.
496 Consequently, we released our work as a forked branch of Emacs,
497 instead of delaying any longer.
499 Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta version of
500 the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF version is better in
501 some areas, and worse in others, as reflects the differing focus of
502 our development efforts.
504 We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and merging
505 in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate; we
506 do not plan to discard any of the functionality that we implemented
507 which RMS has chosen not to include in his version.
509 Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have been
510 ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in this
511 direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner and more
512 extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger between the two
513 branches would be far easier by merging the FSF changes into our
514 version than the other way around.
516 We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge in the
517 remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not yet have.
518 Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same thing. Work is
519 being done on a compatibility package which will allow Epoch 4 code to
520 run in XEmacs with little or no change.\n\n"
521 (about-with-face "The Sun Microsystems, Inc. Point of View"
524 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was
525 supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was going to
526 be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember
527 hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out. v19
528 development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it
529 seemed that it was not moving at all. In the meantime other people
530 gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware
531 Emacsen. The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came
532 from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.
534 Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems
535 Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor. (This group is now
536 known as DevPro. It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed
537 in mid-1994.) They contracted with the University of Illinois to
538 provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch.
539 UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code.
541 In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with UofI)
542 Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated
543 environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the Version
544 19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use
545 Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free
546 Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out.
547 At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and
548 got a v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.
550 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and Sun)
551 that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of both
552 Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that Sun was asking
553 from the University of Illinois on top of this integrated platform.
554 Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both actively supported XEmacs as part of
555 their product suite and invested a comparable amount of effort into
556 it. Substantial portions of the current code have originated under
557 the support of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid
558 for by Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later
559 was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know that Sun was
560 supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.
562 Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid Emacs,
563 starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code. The separate
564 code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of Illinois were merged,
565 allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from that point on.
567 Sun originally called the integrated product ERA, for \"Emacs
568 Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid eventually came to an agreement
569 to find a name for the product that was not specific to either
570 company. An additional constraint that Lucid placed on the name was
571 that it must contain the word \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not
572 acceptable. The tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this
573 has been the name of the program since version 19.11.)
575 As of 1997, Sun is shipping XEmacs as part of its Developer Products
576 integrated programming environment \"Sun WorkShop\". Sun is
577 continuing to support XEmacs development, with focus on
578 internationalization and quality improvement.\n\n"
579 (about-with-face "Lucid goes under" 'italic)
581 Around mid-'94, Lucid went out of business. Lucid founder Richard
582 Gabriel's book \"Patterns of Software\", which is highly recommended
583 reading in any case, documents the demise of Lucid and suggests
584 lessons to be learned for the whole software development community.
586 Development on XEmacs, however, has continued unabated under the
587 auspices of Sun Microsystems and the University of Illinois, with help
588 from Amdahl Corporation and INS Engineering Corporation. Sun plans to
589 continue to support XEmacs into the future.\n\n"
590 (about-with-face "The Amdahl Corporation point of view"
593 Amdahl Corporation's Storage Products Group (SPG) uses XEmacs as the
594 focal point of a environment for development of the microcode used in
595 Amdahl's large-scale disk arrays, or DASD's. SPG has joint ventures
596 with Japanese companies, and decided in late 1994 to contract out for
597 work on XEmacs in order to hasten the development of Mule support
598 \(i.e. support for Japanese, Chinese, etc.) in XEmacs and as a gesture
599 of goodwill towards the XEmacs community for all the work they have
600 done on making a powerful, modern, freely available text editor.
601 Through this contract, Amdahl provided a large amount of work in
602 XEmacs in the form of rewriting the basic text-processing mechanisms
603 to allow for Mule support and writing a large amount of the support
604 for multiple devices.
606 Although Amdahl is no longer hiring a full-time contractor, they are
607 still funding part-time work on XEmacs and providing resources for
608 further XEmacs development.\n\n"

631 -- more comprehensive and better-designed menubars
632 -- horizontal and vertical scrollbars in all windows
633 -- proper dialog boxes
634 -- tabs for selecting buffers
635 -- support for variable-width and variable height fonts
636 -- support for arbitrary pixmaps and widgets in a buffer
637 -- face support on TTY's, including color
639 * An installable package system, with a huge number of packages available
640 that have been tested and are known to work with the latest version
643 * Comprehensive support for the GTK toolkit.
645 * An open development community, with contributions welcome and no need
646 to sign over your copyright to any organization. (Please send
647 contributions to xemacs-patches@xemacs.org. See http://www.xemacs.org
648 for more information on XEmacs mailing lists, and other info.)
650 * Support for display on multiple simultaneous X and/or TTY devices.
652 * Powerful, flexible control over the display characteristics of most
653 of the visual aspects of XEmacs through the use of specifiers, which
654 allow separate values to be specified for individual buffers,
655 windows, frames, devices, device classes, and device types.
657 * A clean, modern, abstracted Lisp interface to the menubar, toolbar,
658 window-system events, key combinations, extents (regions in a buffer
659 with specific properties), and all other display aspects.
661 * Proper integration with Xt and Motif (including Motif menubars and
662 scrollbars). Motif look-alike menubars and scrollbars are provided
663 for those systems without real Motif support.
665 * Many improvements to the multilingual support, such as the ability to
666 enter text for complex languages using the XIM mechanism and
667 localization of menubar text for the Japanese locale.
