+This package contains a alpha version of Gnus. The lisp directory
contains the source lisp files, and the texi directory contains a
draft of the Gnus info pages.
To enable reading the Gnus manual, you could say something like:
+ (require 'info)
(setq Info-default-directory-list
(cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-default-directory-list))
+or
+
+ (require 'info)
+ (setq Info-directory-list
+ (cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-directory-list))
+
+depending on which version of Emacs or XEmacs you're using.
+
Note that Gnus and GNUS can't coexist in a single Emacs. They both use
the same function and variable names. If you have been running GNUS
in your Emacs, you should probably exit that Emacs and start a new one
to fire up Gnus.
Gnus does absolutely not work with anything older than Emacs 20.3 or
-XEmacs 20.0. So you definitely need a new Emacs.
+XEmacs 21.1.1. So you definitely need a new Emacs. However, T-gnus
+does support `Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34' (it is commonly called
+"Mule 2.3@19.34"). See the file `Mule23@1934.{en,ja}' for details.
+Furthermore, you might be able to use the versions of XEmacs prior to
+21.1.1, e.g. 20.4, with a little work. For that, copy the file
+`timer.el' in the `contrib' directory to the `site-lisp' directory and
+do a `M-x byte-compile-file'. This file is imported from one of the
+XEmacs package `fsf-compat-1.07-pkg.tar.gz'.
Then you do a `M-x gnus', and everything should... uhm... it should
work, but it might not. Set `debug-on-error' to t, and mail me the
bit, and features you would like to see.
