+* Introduction
+==============
+
+This file presents some general information about XEmacs. It is primarily
+about the evolution of XEmacs and its release history.
+
+There are five sections.
+
+ Introduction................(this section) provides an introduction
+
+ Using Outline Mode..........briefly explains how to use outline mode
+
+ XEmacs Release Notes........detailed changes to this release
+
+ Future Plans for XEmacs.....what's next
+
+ The History of XEmacs.......some historical notes
+
+ A Long List of Packages.....all the stuff in XEmacs
+
+ What Changed................between versions and also FSF GNU Emacs
+
+New users should look at the next section on "Using Outline Mode".
+You will be more efficient when you can navigate quickly through this
+file. Users who want to know which capabilities have been introduced
+in this release should look at the "XEmacs Release Notes." Users
+interested in some of the details of how XEmacs differs from GNU Emacs
+should read the section "What Changed?".
+
+ N.B. The term "FSF GNU Emacs" refers to any release of Emacs
+ Version 19 from the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project. (We do
+ not say just "GNU Emacs" because Richard M. Stallman ["RMS"]
+ thinks that this term is too generic; although we sometimes say
+ e.g. "GNU Emacs 19.30" to refer to a specific version of FSF GNU
+ Emacs. The term "XEmacs" refers to this program or to its
+ predecessors "Era", "Epoch", and "Lucid Emacs". The predecessor
+ of all these program is called "Emacs 18". When no particular
+ version is implied, "Emacs" will be used.
+
+
+* Using Outline Mode
+====================
+
+This file is in outline mode, a major mode for viewing (or editing)
+outlines. It allows you to make parts of the text temporarily invisible so
+that you can see just the overall structure of the outline.
+
+There are two ways of using outline mode: with keys or with menus. Using
+outline mode with menus is the simplest and is just as effective as using
+keystrokes. There are menus for outline mode on the menubar as well as in
+popup menus activated by pressing mouse button 3.
+
+Try the following to help you read this file.
+
+C-c C-q This hides everything but the very top level headings
+ You can then move to an interesting section
+C-c TAB This shows subheadings (if any) of current heading.
+C-c C-s Show _all_ the text and headings under current heading
+C-c C-d Hide _all_ the text and headings under current heading
+
+It's then easy to navigate through the file alternating between
+showing, C-C C-s, and hiding, C-c C-d, the text. Also, use the "Show"
+and "Hide" menus displayed to get access to the same commands.
+
+You may at any time press `C-h m' to get a listing of the outline mode key
+bindings.
+
+* XEmacs Release Notes

+
+** Major Differences Between 19.14 and 19.15
+============================================
+
+Many bugs have been fixed. An effort has been made to eradicate all
+XEmacs crashes, although we are not quite done yet. The overall
+quality of XEmacs should be higher than any previous release. XEmacs
+now compiles with nary a warning with some compilers.
+
+User visible changes:
+
+-- EFS replaces ange-ftp for remote file manipulation capability.
+
+-- TM (Tools for Mime) now comes with XEmacs. This provides MIME
+ (Multi-purpose Internet Multi-media Extensions?) support for Mail
+ and News. The primary author is Morioka Tomohiko.
+
+-- There is a new way to customize faces and (some) variables.
+ Try it with `M-x customize RET', or from the Options->Customize menu.
+ Documented in <URL:info:custom>.
+
+-- The AUC TeX environment for editing and running TeX is now bundled.
+ (Per Abrahamsen.)
+ Enable with (require 'tex-site) in your .emacs file.
+ Documented in <URL:info:auctex>.
+
+-- New user option `init-face-from-resources'.
+ If you don't set faces with X resources, you can speed up the
+ initialization of new faces by setting this to nil.
+
+-- `column.el' removed, use `column-number-mode' instead.
+
+-- Command line processing should work much better now - no more order
+ dependencies.
+
+-- html mode now defaults to using HTML-3.2
+
+-- VM now has a native MIME mode
+
+-- The traditional time.el package now has optional modeline graphics
+
+-- The XEmacs Logo has been changed courtesy of Jens Lautenbacher
+
+-- Default background changed to gray80
+
+-- The XEmacs build procedure has been changed to make it easier than
+ ever to include new packages to be dumped with the binary
+
+-- cc-mode is no longer auto-loaded. (require 'cc-mode) is now needed
+ before you customize cc-mode in your .emacs.
+
+-- blink-cursor-mode is somewhat more useable now that the cursor
+ stops blinking during keyboard activity.
+
+-- Dired is now part of efs and went from version 6.X to 7.9.
+ Keybindings have been synced with FSF Emacs, there are more menus and
+ items in menus are sometimes grouped differently. Any personnal
+ customization to dired will probably have to be checked.
+
+ If you are a 19.14 user and use its dired a lot, expect to get mad at
+ 'c', 'r' and '^' keybindings."
+

+
+-- New function x-keysym-on-keyboard-p helps determine keyboard
+ characteristics for key rebinding:
+
+ x-keysym-on-keyboard-p: (KEYSYM &optional DEVICE)
+ -- a built-in function.
+ Return true if KEYSYM names a key on the keyboard of DEVICE.
+ More precisely, return true if pressing a physical key
+ on the keyboard of DEVICE without any modifier keys generates KEYSYM.
+ Valid keysyms are listed in the files /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and in
+ /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB, or whatever the equivalents are on your system.
+
+-- Usage of keysyms of the form kp_0 is deprecated and one should use

+-- Installed info files are now compressed (support courtesy of Joseph J Nuspl)
+
+-- (load-average) works on Solaris, even if you're not root. Thanks to
+ Hrvoje Niksic.
+
+-- OffiX drag-and-drop support added
+
+-- lots of syncing with 19.34 elisp files, most by Steven Baur
+
+-- M-: (eval-expression) is now enabled by default since it is much
+ more difficult to type.
+
+-- new variables:
+ signal-error-on-buffer-boundary
+
+
+* Future Plans for XEmacs
+==========================
+
+This is the end of the line for XEmacs v19. No new development is planned
+on this source tree. XEmacs 20.1 will contain the functionality in 19.15,
+and development will continue with XEmacs 20.2. The major new `feature'
+planned in 20.2 will be the introduction of separable packages and the
+capability to download and use an XEmacs lite distribution.
+
+* The History of XEmacs
+=======================
+
+This product is an extension of GNU Emacs, previously known to some as
+"Lucid Emacs" or "ERA". It was initially based on an early version of Emacs
+Version 19 from the Free Software Foundation and has since been kept
+up-to-date with recent versions of that product. It stems from a
+collaboration of Lucid, Inc. with SunSoft DevPro (a division of Sun
+Microsystems, Inc.; formerly called SunPro) and the University of Illinois.
+
+NOTE: Lucid, Inc. is currently out of business but development on XEmacs
+continues strong. Recently, Amdahl Corporation and INS Engineering have
+both contributed significantly to the development of XEmacs.
+
+
+* A Long List of Packages
+=======================
+
+This section gives a detailed list of packages included with XEmacs.
+It's long! Of particular interest are: games, gnus, modes, packages,
+and utils.
+
+** auctex - Super TeX
+*** auctex/auc-old.el
+This file contains an alternative keymapping, compatible with
+older versions of AUC TeX. You are strongly suggested to try the
+new keyboard layout, as we would like this file to go away
+eventually.
+*** auctex/bib-cite.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package is used in various TeX modes to display or edit references
+associated with \cite commands, or matching \ref and \label commands.
+*** auctex/font-latex.el
+Commentary:
+*** auctex/style/german.el
+Commentary:
+
+`german.sty' use `"' to give next character an umlaut.
+*** auctex/style/harvard.el
+Commentary:
+
+Harvard citation style is from Peter Williams available on the CTAN
+servers
+*** auctex/style/plfonts.el
+Commentary:
+
+`plfonts.sty' use `"' to make next character Polish.
+`plfonts.sty' <C> L. Holenderski, IIUW, lhol@mimuw.edu.pl
+*** auctex/style/plhb.el
+Commentary:
+
+`plhb.sty' use `"' to make next character Polish.
+`plhb.sty' <C> J. S. Bie\'n, IIUW, jsbien@mimuw.edu.pl
+
+
+** bytecomp - Byte compile Emacs Lisp files
+*** bytecomp/byte-optimize.el
+Commentary:
+
+========================================================================
+"No matter how hard you try, you can't make a racehorse out of a pig.
+You can, however, make a faster pig."
+
+Or, to put it another way, the emacs byte compiler is a VW Bug. This code
+makes it be a VW Bug with fuel injection and a turbocharger... You're
+still not going to make it go faster than 70 mph, but it might be easier
+to get it there.
+
+*** bytecomp/bytecomp-runtime.el
+Commentary:
+
+interface to selectively inlining functions.
+This only happens when source-code optimization is turned on.
+*** bytecomp/bytecomp.el
+Commentary:
+
+The Emacs Lisp byte compiler. This crunches lisp source into a sort
+of p-code which takes up less space and can be interpreted faster.
+The user entry points are byte-compile-file and byte-recompile-directory.
+*** bytecomp/disass.el
+Commentary:
+
+The single entry point, `disassemble', disassembles a code object generated
+by the Emacs Lisp byte-compiler. This doesn't invert the compilation
+operation, not by a long shot, but it's useful for debugging.
+
+** calendar - Calendars, diaries and appointments
+*** calendar/calendar.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements a calendar window. It
+generates a calendar for the current month, together with the previous
+and coming months, or for any other three-month period. The calendar
+can be scrolled forward and backward in the window to show months in
+the past or future; the cursor can move forward and backward by days,
+weeks, or months, making it possible, for instance, to jump to the
+date a specified number of days, weeks, or months from the date under
+the cursor. The user can display a list of holidays and other notable
+days for the period shown; the notable days can be marked on the
+calendar, if desired. The user can also specify that dates having
+corresponding diary entries (in a file that the user specifies) be
+marked; the diary entries for any date can be viewed in a separate
+window. The diary and the notable days can be viewed independently of
+the calendar. Dates can be translated from the (usual) Gregorian
+calendar to the day of the year/days remaining in year, to the ISO
+commercial calendar, to the Julian (old style) calendar, to the Hebrew
+calendar, to the Islamic calendar, to the French Revolutionary calendar,
+to the Mayan calendar, and to the astronomical (Julian) day number.
+When floating point is available, times of sunrise/sunset can be displayed,
+as can the phases of the moon. Appointment notification for diary entries
+is available.
+*** calendar/cal-dst.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el and
+holiday.el that deal with daylight savings time.
+*** calendar/cal-french.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el and
+diary.el that deal with the French Revolutionary calendar.
+*** calendar/cal-mayan.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el and
+diary.el that deal with the Mayan calendar. It was written jointly by
+*** calendar/cal-x.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements dedicated frames in x-windows for
+calendar.el.
+*** calendar/cal-xemacs.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements menu bar and popup menu support for
+calendar.el.
+*** calendar/diary-ins.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements the diary insertion features as
+described in calendar.el.
+*** calendar/solar.el
+Commentary:
+
+This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el,
+diary.el, and holiday.el that deal with times of day, sunrise/sunset, and
+eqinoxes/solstices.
+
+** cl - Common Lisp compatibility with Emacs Lisp
+*** cl/cl-compat.el
+Commentary:
+
+These are extensions to Emacs Lisp that provide a degree of
+Common Lisp compatibility, beyond what is already built-in
+in Emacs Lisp.
+
+** comint - For running shells, telnet, rsh, gdb, dbx under Emacs
+*** comint/comint-xemacs.el
+Commentary:
+
+Declare customizable faces for comint outside the main code so it can
+be dumped with XEmacs.
+*** comint/comint.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
+(comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
+modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
+This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
+and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
+saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
+
+Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
+- shell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
+- cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
+
+- The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
+- The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
+- The file soar.el tunes lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
+- cmutex.el defines tex and latex modes that invoke tex, latex, bibtex,
+ previewers, and printers from within emacs.
+- background.el allows csh-like job control inside emacs.
+*** comint/gdb.el
+Commentary:
+
+A facility is provided for the simultaneous display of the source code
+in one window, while using gdb to step through a function in the

+Commentary:
+*** comint/history.el
+Commentary:
+
+suggested generic history stuff -- tale
+
+This is intended to provided easy access to a list of elements
+being kept as a history ring.
+*** comint/inf-lisp.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a a lisp-in-a-buffer package (inferior-lisp
+mode) built on top of comint mode. This version is more
+featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version. The
+key bindings are also more compatible with the bindings of Hemlock
+and Zwei (the Lisp Machine emacs).
+*** comint/kermit.el
+Commentary:
+
+I'm not sure, but I think somebody asked about running kermit under shell
+mode a while ago. Anyway, here is some code that I find useful. The result
+is that I can log onto machines with primitive operating systems (VMS and
+ATT system V :-), and still have the features of shell-mode available for
+command history, etc. It's also handy to be able to run a file transfer in
+an emacs window. The transfer is in the "background", but you can also
+monitor or stop it easily.
+*** comint/rlogin.el
+Commentary:
+
+Support for remote logins using `rlogin'.
+This program is layered on top of shell.el; the code here only accounts
+for the variations needed to handle a remote process, e.g. directory
+tracking and the sending of some special characters.
+*** comint/shell.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built
+on top of comint mode. This is actually cmushell with things
+renamed to replace its counterpart in Emacs 18. cmushell is more
+featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version.
+*** comint/telnet.el
+Commentary:
+
+This mode is intended to be used for telnet or rsh to a remode host;
+`telnet' and `rsh' are the two entry points. Multiple telnet or rsh
+sessions are supported.
+
+** custom - Allow's user to customize Emacs
+*** custom/custom.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file only contain the code needed to declare and initialize
+user options. The code to customize options is autoloaded from
+`cus-edit.el'.
+
+The code implementing face declarations is in `cus-face.el'
+
+** edebug - Emacs Lisp debugger
+*** edebug/cl-read.el
+Commentary:
+
+Please send bugs and comments to the author.
+
+This package replaces the standard Emacs Lisp reader (implemented
+as a set of built-in Lisp function in C) by a flexible and
+customizable Common Lisp like one (implemented entirely in Emacs
+Lisp). During reading of Emacs Lisp source files, it is about 40%
+slower than the built-in reader, but there is no difference in
+loading byte compiled files - they dont contain any syntactic sugar
+and are loaded with the built in subroutine `load'.
+
+** ediff - Compare and merge files with graphical difference display
+*** ediff/ediff.el
+Commentary:
+
+Never read that diff output again!
+Apply patch interactively!
+Merge with ease!
+
+This package provides a convenient way of simultaneous browsing through
+the differences between a pair (or a triple) of files or buffers. The
+files being compared, file-A, file-B, and file-C (if applicable) are
+shown in separate windows (side by side, one above the another, or in
+separate frames), and the differences are highlighted as you step
+through them. You can also copy difference regions from one buffer to
+another (and recover old differences if you change your mind).
+
+Ediff also supports merging operations on files and buffers, including
+merging using ancestor versions. Both comparison and merging operations can
+be performed on directories, i.e., by pairwise comparison of files in those
+directories.
+
+** efs - Remote file access (replaces ange-ftp)
+See online manual.
+
+** electric - The "electric" commands; these implement temporary
+windows for help, list-buffers, etc.
+
+*** electric/ehelp.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package provides a pre-packaged `Electric Help Mode' for
+browsing on-line help screens. There is one entry point,
+`with-electric-help'; all you have to give it is a no-argument
+function that generates the actual text of the help into the current
+buffer.
+
+** emulators - Various emulations: mocklisp, teco, TPU/EDT, WordStar
+*** emulators/mlconvert.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package converts Mocklisp code written under a Gosling or UniPress
+Emacs for use with GNU Emacs. The translated code will require runtime
+support from the mlsupport.el equivalent.
+*** emulators/mlsupport.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package provides equivalents of certain primitives from Gosling
+Emacs (including the commercial UniPress versions). These have an
+ml- prefix to distinguish them from native GNU Emacs functions with
+similar names. The package mlconvert.el translates Mocklisp code
+to use these names.
+*** emulators/teco.el
+Commentary:
+
+This code has been tested some, but no doubt contains a zillion bugs.
+You have been warned.
+
+Written by Dale R. Worley based on a C implementation by Matt Fichtenbaum.
+Please send comments, bug fixes, enhancements, etc. to drw@math.mit.edu.

+Commentary:
+
+%% TPU-edt -- Emacs emulating TPU emulating EDT
+
+%% Introduction
+
+ TPU-edt emulates the popular DEC VMS editor EDT (actually, it emulates
+ DEC TPU's EDT emulation, hence the name TPU-edt).
+*** emulators/tpu-extras.el
+Commentary:

+Energize.
+
+** eos - SPARCworks
+
+** eterm - Full terminal emulation under Emacs
+*** eterm/term.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
+(term mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
+modes on top of term mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
+This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
+and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
+saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
+*** eterm/tgud.el
+Commentary:
+
+The ancestral gdb.el was by W. Schelter <wfs@rascal.ics.utexas.edu>
+It was later rewritten by rms. Some ideas were due to Masanobu.
+Grand Unification (sdb/dbx support) by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>
+The overloading code was then rewritten by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@cen.com>,
+who also hacked the mode to use comint.el. Shane Hartman <shane@spr.com>
+added support for xdb (HPUX debugger). Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>
+wrote the GDB command completion code. Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>
+added the IRIX kluge and re-implemented the Mips-ish variant.
+Then hacked by Per Bothner <bothner@cygnus.com> to use term.el.
+*** eterm/tshell.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built
+on top of term mode. This is actually cmushell with things
+renamed to replace its counterpart in Emacs 18. cmushell is more
+featureful, robust, and uniform than the Emacs 18 version.
+
+** games - blackbox, mines, decipher, doctor, ...
+*** games/blackbox.el
+Commentary:
+
+The object of the game is to find four hidden balls by shooting rays
+into the black box. There are four possibilities: 1) the ray will
+pass thru the box undisturbed, 2) it will hit a ball and be absorbed,
+3) it will be deflected and exit the box, or 4) be deflected immediately,
+not even being allowed entry into the box.
+*** games/conx.el
+Commentary:
+
+conx.el: Yet Another Dissociator.
+
+Select a buffer with a lot of text in it. Say M-x conx-buffer
+or M-x conx-region. Repeat on as many other bodies of text as
+you like.
+
+M-x conx will use the word-frequency tree the above generated
+to produce random sentences in a popped-up buffer. It will pause
+at the end of each paragraph for two seconds; type ^G to stop it.
+*** games/cookie1.el
+Commentary:
+
+Support for random cookie fetches from phrase files, used for such
+critical applications as emulating Zippy the Pinhead and confounding
+the NSA Trunk Trawler.
+*** games/decipher.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package is designed to help you crack simple substitution
+ciphers where one letter stands for another. It works for ciphers
+with or without word divisions. (You must set the variable
+decipher-ignore-spaces for ciphers without word divisions.)
+*** games/dissociate.el
+Commentary:
+
+The single entry point, `dissociated-press', applies a travesty
+generator to the current buffer. The results can be quite amusing.
+*** games/doctor.el
+Commentary:
+
+The single entry point `doctor', simulates a Rogerian analyst using
+phrase-production techniques similar to the classic ELIZA demonstration
+of pseudo-AI.
+*** games/flame.el
+Commentary:
+
+"Flame" program. This has a chequered past.
+*** games/gomoku.el
+Gomoku is a game played between two players on a rectangular board. Each
+player, in turn, marks a free square of its choice. The winner is the first
+one to mark five contiguous squares in any direction (horizontally,
+vertically or diagonally).
+
+*** games/hanoi.el
+Commentary:
+
+Solves the Towers of Hanoi puzzle while-U-wait.
+
+The puzzle: Start with N rings, decreasing in sizes from bottom to
+top, stacked around a post. There are two other posts. Your mission,
+should you choose to accept it, is to shift the pile, stacked in its
+original order, to another post.
+*** games/life.el
+Commentary:
+
+A demonstrator for John Horton Conway's "Life" cellular automaton
+in Emacs Lisp. Picks a random one of a set of interesting Life
+patterns and evolves it according to the familiar rules.
+*** games/mine.el
+Commentary:
+
+The object of this classical game is to locate the hidden mines.
+To do this, you hit the squares on the game board that do not
+contain mines, and you mark the squares that do contain mines.
+*** games/mpuz.el
+Commentary:
+
+When this package is loaded, `M-x mpuz' generates a random multiplication
+puzzle. This is a multiplication example in which each digit has been
+consistently replaced with some letter. Your job is to reconstruct
+the original digits. Type `?' while the mode is active for detailed help.
+*** games/spook.el
+Commentary:
+
+ Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
+ A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
+ give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
+ keyword scanners.
+*** games/studly.el
+Commentary:
+
+Functions to studlycapsify a region, word, or buffer. Possibly the
+esoteric significance of studlycapsification escapes you; that is,
+you suffer from autostudlycapsifibogotification. Too bad.
+*** games/yow.el
+Commentary:
+
+Important pinheadery for GNU Emacs.
+
+See cookie1.el for implementation. Note --- the `n' argument of yow

+** gnus - The ultimate News and Mail reader
+See online manual
+*** gnus/gnus-audio.el
+Commentary:
+This file provides access to sound effects in Gnus.
+Prerelease: This file is partially stripped to support earcons.el
+You can safely ignore most of it until Red Gnus. **Evil Laugh**
+*** gnus/gnus-gl.el
+Commentary:
+*** gnus/gnus-undo.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package allows arbitrary undoing in Gnus buffers. As all the
+Gnus buffers aren't very text-oriented (what is in the buffers is
+just some random representation of the actual data), normal Emacs
+undoing doesn't work at all for Gnus.
+*** gnus/mailheader.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package provides an abstraction to RFC822-style messages, used in
+mail news, and some other systems. The simple syntactic rules for such
+headers, such as quoting and line folding, are routinely reimplemented
+in many individual packages. This package removes the need for this
+redundancy by representing message headers as association lists,
+offering functions to extract the set of headers from a message, to
+parse individual headers, to merge sets of headers, and to format a set
+of headers.
+*** gnus/message.el
+Commentary:
+
+This mode provides mail-sending facilities from within Emacs. It
+consists mainly of large chunks of code from the sendmail.el,
+gnus-msg.el and rnewspost.el files.
+*** gnus/nnheader.el
+Commentary:
+
+These macros may look very much like the ones in GNUS 4.1. They
+are, in a way, but you should note that the indices they use have
+been changed from the internal GNUS format to the NOV format. The
+makes it possible to read headers from XOVER much faster.

+*** modes/bibtex.el
+*** modes/cc-compat.el
+Commentary:
+
+Boring old c-mode.el (BOCM) is confusion and brain melt. cc-mode.el
+is clarity of thought and purity of chi. If you are still unwilling

+agony.
+*** modes/cc-guess.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file contains routines that help guess the cc-mode style in a
+particular region of C, C++, or Objective-C code. It is provided
+for example and experimentation only. It is not supported in
+anyway. Some folks have asked for a style guesser and the best way
+to show my thoughts on the subject is with this sample code. Feel
+free to improve upon it in anyway you'd like. Please send me the
+results. Note that style guessing is lossy!
+*** modes/cc-lobotomy.el
+Commentary:
+
+Every effort has been made to improve the performance of
+cc-mode. However, due to the nature of the C, C++, and Objective-C
+language definitions, a trade-off is often required between
+accuracy of construct recognition and speed. I believe it is always
+best to be correct, and that the mode is currently fast enough for
+most normal usage. Others disagree. I have no intention of
+including these hacks in the main distribution. When cc-mode
+version 5 comes out, it will include a rewritten indentation engine
+so that performance will be greatly improved automatically. This
+was not included in this release of version 4 so that Emacs 18
+could still be supported. Note that this implies that cc-mode
+version 5 will *not* work on Emacs 18!
+*** modes/cc-mode.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package provides modes in GNU Emacs for editing C, C++,
+Objective-C, and Java code. It is intended to be a replacement for
+c-mode.el (a.k.a. BOCM -- Boring Old C-Mode), c++-mode.el,
+cplus-md.el, and cplus-md1.el, all of which are in some way
+ancestors of this file. A number of important improvements have
+been made, briefly: complete K&R C, ANSI C, `ARM' C++, Objective-C,
+and Java support with consistent indentation across all modes, more
+intuitive indentation controlling variables, compatibility across
+all known Emacsen, nice new features, and tons of bug fixes. This
+package is called "CC Mode" to distinguish it from its ancestors,
+but there is no cc-mode command. Usage and programming details are
+contained in an accompanying texinfo manual.
+*** modes/cl-indent.el

+
+*** modes/f90.el
+Commentary:
+
+Smart mode for editing F90 programs in FREE FORMAT.
+Knows about continuation lines, named structured statements, and other
+new features in F90 including HPF (High Performance Fortran) structures.
+The basic feature is to provide an accurate indentation of F90 programs.
+In addition, there are many more features like automatic matching of all
+end statements, an auto-fill function to break long lines, a join-lines
+function which joins continued lines etc etc.
+ To facilitate typing, a fairly complete list of abbreviations is provided.
+ For example, `i is short-hand for integer (if abbrev-mode is on).
+
+*** modes/follow.el
+Commentary:
+
+`Follow mode' is a minor mode for Emacs 19 and XEmacs which
+combines windows into one tall virtual window.
+
+The feeling of a "virtual window" has been accomplished by the use
+of two major techniques:
+
+ * The windows always displays adjacent sections of the buffer.
+ This means that whenever one window is moved, all the
+ others will follow. (Hence the name Follow Mode.)
+
+ * Should the point (cursor) end up outside a window, another
+ window displaying that point is selected, if possible. This
+ makes it possible to walk between windows using normal cursor
+ movement commands.
+*** modes/fortran.el
+Commentary:
+
+Fortran mode has been upgraded and is now maintained by Stephen A. Wood
+(saw@cebaf.gov). It now will use either fixed format continuation line
+markers (character in 6th column), or tab format continuation line style
+(digit after a TAB character.) A auto-fill mode has been added to
+automatically wrap fortran lines that get too long.

+limited to identifiers, parens, and the operators: &&, ||, !, and
+"defined". Please extend this.
+*** modes/hideshow.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file provides `hs-minor-mode'. When active, six commands:
+ hs-{hide,show}-{all,block}, hs-show-region and hs-minor-mode
+are available. They implement block hiding and showing. Blocks are
+defined in mode-specific way. In c-mode or c++-mode, they are simply
+curly braces, while in lisp-ish modes they are parens. Multi-line
+comments (c-mode) can also be hidden. The command M-x hs-minor-mode
+toggles the minor mode or sets it (similar to outline minor mode).
+See documentation for each command for more info.

+
+The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in

+
+This package implements low-level support for reading, writing,

+I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so
+that they automatically compress or uncompress a file if the file

+*** packages/ps-print.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package provides printing of Emacs buffers on PostScript

+preserved in the printer output. Ps-print is intended for use with
+Emacs 19 or Lucid Emacs, together with a fontifying package such as
+font-lock or hilit.
+*** packages/rcompile.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package is for running a remote compilation and using emacs to parse
+the error messages. It works by rsh'ing the compilation to a remote host
+and parsing the output. If the file visited at the time remote-compile was
+called was loaded remotely (ange-ftp), the host and user name are obtained
+by the calling ange-ftp-ftp-name on the current directory. In this case the
+next-error command will also ange-ftp the files over. This is achieved
+automatically because the compilation-parse-errors function uses
+default-directory to build it's file names. If however the file visited was
+loaded locally, remote-compile prompts for a host and user and assumes the
+files mounted locally (otherwise, how was the visited file loaded).

+The purpose of this library is to handle command line arguments

+You can't get the benefit of this library by using the `emacs' command,
+since that always starts a new Emacs job. Instead you must use a
+command called `edit' which knows how to resume an existing Emacs job
+if you have one, or start a new Emacs job if you don't have one.
+
+To define the `edit' command, run the script etc/emacs.csh (if you use CSH),

+Possible uses are dired (have all files in a list, and show them),
+buffer-list, kom-prioritize (in the LysKOM elisp client) and

+*** pcl-cvs/dll.el
+Commentary:
+
+A doubly linked list consists of one cons cell which holds the tag
+'DL-LIST in the car cell and a pointer to a dummy node in the cdr
+cell. The doubly linked list is implemented as a circular list
+with the dummy node first and last. The dummy node is recognized
+by comparing it to the node which the cdr of the cons cell points
+to.
+
+*** pcl-cvs/elib-node.el
+Commentary:

+*** prim/reposition.el
+Commentary:
+
+Reposition-window makes an entire function definition or comment visible,
+or, if it is already visible, places it at the top of the window;
+additional invocations toggle the visibility of comments preceding the
+code. For the gory details, see the documentation for reposition-window;
+rather than reading that, you may just want to play with it.
+
+This tries pretty hard to do the recentering correctly; the precise
+action depends on what the buffer looks like. If you find a situation
+where it doesn't behave well, let me know. This function is modeled
+after one of the same name in ZMACS, but the code is all-new and the
+behavior in some situations differs.

+*** prim/symbols.el
+Commentary:
+
+The idea behind magic variables is that you can specify arbitrary
+behavior to happen when setting or retrieving a variable's value. The
+purpose of this is to make it possible to cleanly provide support for
+obsolete variables (e.g. unread-command-event, which is obsolete for

+Commentary:
+
+The function `style-format' formats the SGML-file in the current

+(or the file given by the variable `fs-style').
+
+To try it load this file and open the test file example.sgml. Then
+run the emacs command `M-x style-format'.
+
+The style file should contain a single Lisp list. The elements of
+this list, are them self lists, describe the style for an element type.
+The sublists begin with the generic identifier for the element types and
+the rest of the list are characteristic/value pairs.

+*** psgml/tempo.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
+macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
+other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
+certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
+a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <nelson@santafe.edu>,
+and his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to
+use this program.

+Commentary:
+
+This package implements a full-fledged Lisp-style advice mechanism
+for Emacs Lisp. Advice is a clean and efficient way to modify the
+behavior of Emacs Lisp functions without having to keep personal
+modified copies of such functions around. A great number of such
+modifications can be achieved by treating the original function as a
+black box and specifying a different execution environment for it
+with a piece of advice. Think of a piece of advice as a kind of fancy
+hook that you can attach to any function/macro/subr.

+and ask a World-Wide Web browser to load it. It can also load the
+URL associated with the current buffer. Different browsers use

+*** utils/derived.el
+Commentary:
+
+GNU Emacs is already, in a sense, object oriented -- each object
+(buffer) belongs to a class (major mode), and that class defines
+the relationship between messages (input events) and methods
+(commands) by means of a keymap.
+
+In the mean time, this package offers most of the advantages of
+full inheritance with the existing major modes. The macro
+`define-derived-mode' allows the user to make a variant of an existing
+major mode, with its own keymap. The new mode will inherit the key
+bindings of its parent, and will, in fact, run its parent first
+every time it is called. For example, the commands

+*** utils/docref.el
+Commentary:
+
+This package allows you to use a simple form of cross references in
+your Emacs Lisp documentation strings. Cross-references look like
+\\(type@[label@]data), where type defines a method for retrieving
+reference informatin, data is used by a method routine as an argument,
+and label "represents" the reference in text. If label is absent, data
+is used instead.

+*** utils/edmacro.el

+The `C-x C-k' (`edit-kbd-macro') command edits a keyboard macro
+in a special buffer. It prompts you to type a key sequence,
+which should be one of:
+*** utils/eldoc.el
+Commentary:
+
+This program was inspired by the behavior of the "mouse documentation
+window" on many Lisp Machine systems; as you type a function's symbol
+name as part of a sexp, it will print the argument list for that
+function. Behavior is not identical; for example, you need not actually
+type the function name, you need only move point around in a sexp that
+calls it. Also, if point is over a documented variable, it will print
+the one-line documentation for that variable instead, to remind you of
+that variable's meaning.
+*** utils/elp.el
+Commentary:
+
+If you want to profile a bunch of functions, set elp-function-list
+to the list of symbols, then do a M-x elp-instrument-list. This
+hacks those functions so that profiling information is recorded
+whenever they are called. To print out the current results, use
+M-x elp-results. If you want output to go to standard-output
+instead of a separate buffer, setq elp-use-standard-output to
+non-nil. With elp-reset-after-results set to non-nil, profiling
+information will be reset whenever the results are displayed. You
+can also reset all profiling info at any time with M-x
+elp-reset-all.
+*** utils/facemenu.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file defines a menu of faces (bold, italic, etc) which allows you to
+set the face used for a region of the buffer. Some faces also have
+keybindings, which are shown in the menu. Faces with names beginning with
+"fg:" or "bg:", as in "fg:red", are treated specially.
+Such faces are assumed to consist only of a foreground (if "fg:") or
+background (if "bg:") color. They are thus put into the color submenus
+rather than the general Face submenu. These faces can also be
+automatically created by selecting the "Other..." menu items in the
+"Foreground" and "Background" submenus.
+*** utils/find-gc.el
+Commentary:

+Produce in unsafe-list the set of all functions that may invoke GC.
+This expects the Emacs sources to live in emacs-source-directory.
+It creates a temporary working directory /tmp/esrc.
+*** utils/finder.el
+Commentary:
+
+This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
+services by keyword.
+*** utils/floating-toolbar.el
+Commentary:
+
+The command `floating-toolbar' pops up a small frame
+containing a toolbar. The command should be bound to a
+button-press event. If the mouse press happens over an
+extent that has a non-nil 'floating-toolbar property, the
+value of that property is the toolbar instantiator that will
+be displayed. Otherwise the toolbar displayed is taken from
+the variable `floating-toolbar'. This variable can be made
+buffer local to produce buffer local floating toolbars.
+*** utils/flow-ctrl.el
+Commentary:
+
+Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
+GNU Emacs users. This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
+easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
+terminal.
+
+*** utils/foldout.el
+Commentary:
+
+This file provides folding editor extensions for outline-mode and
+outline-minor-mode buffers. What's a "folding editor"? Read on...
+
+Imagine you're in an outline-mode buffer and you've hidden all the text and
+subheadings under your level-1 headings. You now want to look at the stuff
+hidden under one of these headings. Normally you'd do C-c C-e (show-entry)
+to expose the body or C-c C-i to expose the child (level-2) headings.
+
+With foldout, you do C-c C-z (foldout-zoom-subtree). This exposes the body
+and child subheadings and narrows the buffer so that only the level-1
+heading, the body and the level-2 headings are visible. If you now want to
+look under one of the level-2 headings, position the cursor on it and do C-c
+C-z again. This exposes the level-2 body and its level-3 child subheadings
+and narrows the buffer again. You can keep on zooming in on successive
+subheadings as much as you like. A string in the modeline tells you how
+deep you've gone.

+applies an action to each element of a list based on the answer.
+The nice thing is that you also get some other possible answers
+to use, reminiscent of query-replace: ! to answer y to all remaining
+questions; ESC or q to answer n to all remaining questions; . to answer
+y once and then n for the remainder; and you can get help with C-h.

+therefore grows without bound, truncated only at garbage

+Emacs's standard method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,

+that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
+uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
+are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
+/usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
+Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
+Other buffer name styles are also available.

+* What Changed
+===================
+
+
+** Differences between XEmacs and GNU Emacs 19
+==================================================
+
+In XEmacs, events are first-class objects. FSF 19 represents them as
+integers, which obscures the differences between a key gesture and the
+ancient ASCII code used to represent a particular overlapping subset of them.
+
+In XEmacs, keymaps are first-class opaque objects. FSF 19 represents them as
+complicated combinations of association lists and vectors. If you use the
+advertised functional interface to manipulation of keymaps, the same code
+will work in XEmacs, Emacs 18, and GNU Emacs 19; if your code depends
+on the underlying implementation of keymaps, it will not.
+
+XEmacs uses "extents" to represent all non-textual aspects of buffers;
+FSF 19 uses two distinct objects, "text properties" and "overlays",
+which divide up the functionality between them. Extents are a
+superset of the functionality of the two FSF data types. The full FSF
+19 interface to text properties is supported in XEmacs (with extents
+being the underlying representation).
+
+Extents can be made to be copied into strings, and thus restored by kill
+and yank. Thus, one can specify this behavior on either "extents" or
+"text properties", whereas in FSF 19 text properties always have this
+behavior and overlays never do.
+
+Many more packages are provided standard with XEmacs than with FSF 19.
+
+Pixmaps of arbitrary size can be embedded in a buffer.
+
+Variable width fonts work.
+
+The height of a line is the height of the tallest font on that line, instead
+of all lines having the same height.
+
+XEmacs uses the MIT "Xt" toolkit instead of raw Xlib calls, which
+makes it be a more well-behaved X citizen (and also improves
+portability). A result of this is that it is possible to include
+other Xt "Widgets" in the XEmacs window. Also, XEmacs understands the
+standard Xt command-line arguments.
+
+XEmacs provides support for ToolTalk on systems that have it.
+
+XEmacs can ask questions using popup dialog boxes. Any command executed from
+a menu will ask yes/no questions with dialog boxes, while commands executed
+via the keyboard will use the minibuffer.
+
+XEmacs has a built-in toolbar. Four toolbars can actually be configured:
+top, bottom, left, and right toolbars.
+
+XEmacs has vertical and horizontal scrollbars. Unlike in FSF 19 (which
+provides a primitive form of vertical scrollbar), these are true toolkit
+scrollbars. A look-alike Motif scrollbar is provided for those who
+don't have Motif. (Even for those who do, the look-alike may be preferable
+as it is faster.)
+
+If you're running on a machine with audio hardware, you can specify sound
+files for XEmacs to play instead of the default X beep. See the documentation
+of the function load-sound-file and the variable sound-alist.
+
+An XEmacs frame can be placed within an "external client widget" managed by
+another application. This allows an application to use an XEmacs frame as its
+text pane rather than the standard Text widget that is provided with Motif or
+Athena. XEmacs supports Motif applications, generic Xt (e.g. Athena)
+applications, and raw Xlib applications.
+
+Here are some more specifics about the XEmacs implementation:
+
+*** The Input Model
+-------------------
+
+The fundamental unit of input is an "event" instead of a character. An
+event is a new data type that contains several pieces of information.
+There are several kinds of event, and corresponding accessor and utility
+functions. We tried to abstract them so that they would apply equally
+well to a number of window systems.
+
+NOTE: All timestamps are measured as milliseconds since Emacs started.
+
+ key_press_event
+ event_channel A token representing which keyboard generated it.
+ For this kind of event, this is a frame object.
+ (This is for eventual support of multiple displays.)
+ timestamp When it happened
+ key What keysym this is; an integer or a symbol.
+ If this is an integer, it will be in the printing
+ ASCII range: >32 and <127.
+ modifiers Bucky-bits on that key: control, meta, etc.
+ For most keys, Shift is not a bit; that is implicit
+ in the keyboard layout.
+
+ button_press_event
+ button_release_event
+ event_channel A token representing which mouse generated it.
+ For this kind of event, this is a frame object.
+ timestamp When it happened
+ button What button went down or up.
+ modifiers Bucky-bits on that button: shift, control, meta, etc.
+ x, y Where it was at the button-state-change (in pixels).
+
+ pointer_motion_event
+ event_channel A token representing which mouse generated it.
+ For this kind of event, this is a frame object.
+ timestamp When it happened
+ x, y Where it was after it moved (in pixels).
+ modifiers Bucky-bits down when the motion was detected.
+ (Possibly not all window systems will provide this?)
+
+ process_event
+ timestamp When it happened
+ process the emacs "process" object in question
+
+ timeout_event
+ timestamp Now (really, when the timeout was signaled)
+ interval_id The ID returned when the associated call to
+ add_timeout_cb() was made
+ ------ the rest of the fields are filled in by Emacs -----
+ id_number The Emacs timeout ID for this timeout (more
+ than one timeout event can have the same value
+ here, since Emacs timeouts, as opposed to
+ add_timeout_cb() timeouts, can resignal
+ themselves)
+ function An elisp function to call when this timeout is
+ processed.
+ object The object passed to that function.
+
+ eval_event
+ timestamp When it happened
+ function An elisp function to call with this event object.
+ object Anything.
+ This kind of event is used internally; sometimes the
+ window system interface would like to inform emacs of
+ some user action (such as focusing on another frame)
+ but needs that to happen synchronously with the other
+ user input, like keypresses. This is useful when
+ events are reported through callbacks rather
+ than in the standard event stream.
+
+ misc_user_event
+ timestamp When it happened
+ function An elisp function to call with this event object.
+ object Anything.
+ This is similar to an eval_event, except that it is
+ generated by user actions: selections in the
+ menubar or scrollbar actions. It is a "command"
+ event, like key and mouse presses (and unlike mouse
+ motion, process output, and enter and leave window
+ hooks). In many ways, eval_events are not the same
+ as keypresses or misc_user_events.
+
+ magic_event
+ No user-serviceable parts within. This is for things
+ like KeymapNotify and ExposeRegion events and so on
+ that emacs itself doesn't care about, but which it
+ must do something with for proper interaction with
+ the window system.
+
+ Magic_events are handled somewhat asynchronously, just
+ like subprocess filters. However, occasionally a
+ magic_event needs to be handled synchronously; in that
+ case, the asynchronous handling of the magic_event will
+ push an eval_event back onto the queue, which will be
+ handled synchronously later. This is one of the
+ reasons why eval_events exist; I'm not entirely happy
+ with this aspect of this event model.
+
+
+The function `next-event' blocks and returns one of the above-described
+event objects. The function `dispatch-event' takes an event and processes
+it in the appropriate way.
+
+For a process-event, dispatch-event calls the process's handler; for a
+mouse-motion event, the mouse-motion-handler hook is called, and so on.
+For magic-events, dispatch-event does window-system-dependent things,
+including calling some non-window-system-dependent hooks: map-frame-hook,
+unmap-frame-hook, mouse-enter-frame-hook, and mouse-leave-frame-hook.
+
+The function `next-command-event' calls `next-event' until it gets a key or
+button from the user (that is, not a process, motion, timeout, or magic
+event). If it gets an event that is not a key or button, it calls
+`dispatch-event' on it immediately and reads another one. The
+next-command-event function could be implemented in Emacs Lisp, though it
+isn't. Generally one should call `next-command-event' instead of
+`next-event'.
+
+read-char calls next-command-event; if it doesn't get an event that can be
+converted to an ASCII character, it signals an error. Otherwise it returns
+an integer.
+
+The variable `last-command-char' always contains an integer, or nil (if the
+last read event has no ASCII equivalent, as when it is a mouse-click or a
+non-ASCII character chord.)
+
+The new variable `last-command-event' holds an event object, that could be
+a non-ASCII character, a button click, a menu selection, etc.
+
+The variable `unread-command-char' no longer exists, and has been replaced
+by `unread-command-events'. With the new event model, it is incorrect for
+code to do (setq unread-command-char (read-char)), because all user-input
+can't be represented as ASCII characters. *** This is an incompatible
+change. Code which sets `unread-command-char' must be updated to use the
+combination of `next-command-event' and `unread-command-events' instead.
+
+The functions `this-command-keys' and `recent-keys' return a vector of
+event objects, instead of a string of ASCII characters. *** This also
+is an incompatible change.
+
+Almost nothing happens at interrupt level; the SIGIO handler simply sets a
+flag, and later, the X event queue is scanned for KeyPress events which map
+to ^G. All redisplay happens in the main thread of the process.
+
+
+*** Keymaps
+-----------
+
+Instead of keymaps being alists or obarrays, they are a new primary data
+type. The only user access to the contents of a keymap is through the
+existing keymap-manipulation functions, and a new function, map-keymap.
+This means that existing code that manipulates keymaps may need to
+be changed.
+
+One of our goals with the new input and keymap code was to make more
+character combinations available for binding, besides just ASCII and
+function keys. We want to be able bind different commands to Control-a
+and Control-Shift-a; we also want it to be possible for the keys Control-h
+and Backspace (and Control-M and Return, and Control-I and Tab, etc) to
+be distinct.
+
+One of the most common complaints that new Emacs users have is that backspace
+is help. The answer is to play around with the keyboard-translate-table, or
+be lucky enough to have a system administrator who has done this for you
+already; but if it were possible to bind backspace and C-h to different
+things, then (under a window manager at least) both backspace and delete
+would delete a character, and ^H would be help. There's no need to deal
+with xmodmap, kbd-translate-table, etc.
+
+Here are some more examples: suppose you want to bind one function to Tab,
+and another to Control-Tab. This can't be done if Tab and Control-I are the
+same thing. What about control keys that have no ASCII equivalent, like
+Control-< ? One might want that to be bound to set-mark-at-point-min. We
+want M-C-Backspace to be kill-backward-sexp. But we want M-Backspace to be
+kill-backward-word. Again, this can't be done if Backspace and C-h are
+indistinguishable.
+
+The user represents keys as a string of ASCII characters (when possible and
+convenient), or as a vector of event objects, or as a vector of "key
+description lists", that looks like (control a), or (control meta delete)
+or (shift f1). The order of the modifier-names is not significant, so
+(meta control x) and (control meta x) are the same.
+
+`define-key' knows how to take any of the above representations and store them
+into a keymap. When Emacs wants to return a key sequence (this-command-keys,
+recent-keys, keyboard-macros, and read-key-sequence, for example) it returns
+a vector of event objects. Keyboard macros can also be represented as ASCII
+strings or as vectors of key description lists.
+
+This is an incompatible change: code which calls `this-command-keys',
+`recent-keys', `read-key-sequence', or manipulates keyboard-macros probably
+needs to be changed so that it no longer assumes that the returned value is a
+string.
+
+Control-Shift-a is specified as (control A), not (control shift a), since A
+is a two-case character. But for keys that don't have an upper case
+version, like F1, Backspace, and Escape, you use the (shift backspace) syntax.
+
+See the doc string for our version of define-key, reproduced below in the
+`Changed Functions' section. Note that when the KEYS argument is a string,
+it has the same semantics as the v18 define-key.
+
+
+*** Xt Integration
+------------------
+
+The heart of the event loop is implemented in terms of the Xt event functions
+(specifically XtAppProcessEvent), and uses Xt's concept of timeouts and
+file-descriptor callbacks, eliminating a large amount of system-dependent code
+(Xt does it for you.)
+
+If Emacs is compiled with support for X, it uses the Xt event loop even when
+Emacs is not running on an X display (the Xt event loop supports this). This
+makes it possible to run Emacs on a dumb TTY, and later connect it to one or
+more X servers. It should also be possible to later connect an existing Emacs
+process to additional TTY's, although this code is still experimental. (Our
+intent at this point is not to have an Emacs that is being used by multiple
+people at the same time: it is to make it possible for someone to go home, log
+in on a dialup line, and connect to the same Emacs process that is running
+under X in their office without having to recreate their buffer state and so
+on.)
+
+If Emacs is not compiled with support for X, then it instead uses more general
+code, something like what v18 does; but this way of doing things is a lot more
+modular.
+
+(Linking Emacs with Xt seems to only add about 300k to the executable size,
+compared with an Emacs linked with Xlib only.)
+
+
+*** Region Highlighting
+-----------------------
+
+If the variable `zmacs-regions' is true, then the region between point and
+mark will be highlighted when "active". Those commands which push a mark
+(such as C-SPC, and C-x C-x) make the region become "active" and thus
+highlighted. Most commands (all non-motion commands, basically) cause it to
+become non-highlighted (non-"active"). Commands that operate on the region
+(such as C-w, C-x C-l, etc.) only work if the region is in the highlighted
+state.
+
+zmacs-activate-region-hook and zmacs-deactivate-region-hook are run at the
+appropriate times; under X, zmacs-activate-region-hook makes the X selection
+be the region between point and mark, thus doing two things at once: making
+the region and the X selection be the same; and making the region highlight
+in the same way as the X selection.
+
+If `zmacs-regions' is true, then the `mark-marker' command returns nil unless
+the region is currently in the active (highlighted) state. With an argument
+of t, this returns the mark (if there is one) regardless of the active-region
+state. You should *generally* not use the mark unless the region is active,
+if the user has expressed a preference for the active-region model. Watch
+out! Moving this marker changes the mark position. If you set the marker not
+to point anywhere, the buffer will have no mark.
+
+In this way, the primary selection is a fairly transitory entity; but
+when something is copied to the kill ring, it is made the Clipboard
+selection. It is also stored into CUT_BUFFER0, for compatibility with
+X applications that don't understand selections (like Emacs18).
+
+Compatibility note: if you have code which uses (mark) or (mark-marker),
+then you need to either: change those calls to (mark t) or (mark-marker t);
+or simply bind `zmacs-regions' to nil around the call to mark or mark-marker.
+This is probably the best solution, since it will work in Emacs 18 as well.
+
+
+*** Menubars and Dialog Boxes
+-----------------------------
+
+Here is an example of a menubar definition:
+
+(defvar default-menubar
+ '(("File" ["Open File..." find-file t]
+ ["Save Buffer" save-buffer t]
+ ["Save Buffer As..." write-file t]
+ ["Revert Buffer" revert-buffer t]
+ "-----"
+ ["Print Buffer" lpr-buffer t]
+ "-----"
+ ["Delete Frame" delete-frame t]
+ ["Kill Buffer..." kill-buffer t]
+ ["Exit Emacs" save-buffers-kill-emacs t]
+ )
+ ("Edit" ["Undo" advertised-undo t]
+ ["Cut" kill-primary-selection t]
+ ["Copy" copy-primary-selection t]
+ ["Paste" yank-clipboard-selection t]
+ ["Clear" delete-primary-selection t]
+ )
+ ...))
+
+The first element of each menu item is the string to print on the menu.
+
+The second element is the callback function; if it is a symbol, it is
+invoked with `call-interactively.' If it is a list, it is invoked with
+`eval'.
+
+If the second element is a symbol, then the menu also displays the key that
+is bound to that command (if any).
+
+The third element of the menu items determines whether the item is selectable.
+It may be t, nil, or a form to evaluate. Also, a hook is run just before a
+menu is exposed, which can be used to change the value of these slots.
+For example, there is a hook that makes the "undo" menu item be selectable
+only in the cases when `advertised-undo' would not signal an error.
+
+Menus may have other menus nested within them; they will cascade.
+
+There are utility functions for adding items to menus, deleting items,
+disabling them, etc.
+
+The function `popup-menu' takes a menu description and pops it up.
+
+The function `popup-dialog-box' takes a dialog-box description and pops
+it up. Dialog box descriptions look a lot like menu descriptions.
+
+The menubar, menu, and dialog-box code is implemented as a library,
+with an interface which hides the toolkit that implements it.
+
+
+*** Isearch Changes
+-------------------
+
+Isearch has been reimplemented in a different way, adding some new features,
+and causing a few incompatible changes.
+
+ - the old isearch-*-char variables are no longer supported. In the old
+ system, one could make ^A mean "repeat the search" by doing something
+ like (setq search-repeat-char ?C-a). In the new system, this is
+ accomplished with
+
+ (define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-a" 'isearch-repeat-forward)
+
+ - The advantage of using the normal keymap mechanism for this is that you
+ can bind more than one key to an isearch command: for example, both C-a
+ and C-s could do the same thing inside isearch mode. You can also bind
+ multi-key sequences inside of isearch mode, and bind non-ASCII keys.
+ For example, to use the F1 key to terminate a search:
+
+ (define-key isearch-mode-map 'f1 'isearch-exit)
+
+ or to make ``C-c C-c'' terminate a search:
+
+ (define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-c\C-c" 'isearch-exit)
+
+ - If isearch is behaving case-insensitively (the default) and you type an
+ upper case character, then the search will become case-sensitive. This
+ can be disabled by setting `search-caps-disable-folding' to nil.
+
+ - There is a history ring of the strings previously searched for; typing
+ M-p or M-n while searching will cycle through this ring. Typing M-TAB
+ will do completion across the set of items in the history ring.
+
+ - The ESC key is no longer used to terminate an incremental search. The
+ RET key should be used instead. This change is necessary for it to be
+ possible to bind "meta" characters to isearch commands.
+
+
+*** Startup Code Changes
+------------------------
+
+The initial X frame is mapped before the user's .emacs file is executed.
+Without this, there is no way for the user to see any error messages
+generated by their .emacs file, any windows created by the .emacs file
+don't show up, and the copyleft notice isn't shown.
+
+The default values for load-path, exec-path, lock-directory, and
+Info-directory-list are not (necessarily) built into Emacs, but are
+computed at startup time.
+
+First, Emacs looks at the directory in which its executable file resides:
+
+ o If that directory contains subdirectories named "lisp" and "lib-src",
+ then those directories are used as the lisp library and exec directory.
+
+ o If the parent of the directory in which the emacs executable is located
+ contains "lisp" and "lib-src" subdirectories, then those are used.
+
+ o If ../lib/xemacs-<version> (starting from the directory in which the
+ emacs executable is located) contains a "lisp" subdirectory and either
+ a "lib-src" subdirectory or a <configuration-name> subdirectory, then
+ those are used.
+
+ o If the emacs executable that was run is a symbolic link, then the link
+ is chased, and the resultant directory is checked as above.
+
+(Actually, it doesn't just look for "lisp/", it looks for "lisp/prim/",
+which reduces the chances of a false positive.)
+
+If the lisp directory contains subdirectories, they are added to the default
+load-path as well. If the site-lisp directory exists and contains
+subdirectories, they are then added. Subdirectories whose names begin with
+a dot or a hyphen are not added to the load-path.
+
+These heuristics fail if the Emacs binary was copied from the main Emacs
+tree to some other directory, and links for the lisp directory were not put
+in. This isn't much of a restriction: either make there be subdirectories
+(or symbolic links) of the directory of the emacs executable, or make the
+"installed" emacs executable be a symbolic link to an executable in a more
+appropriate directory structure. For example, this setup works:
+
+ /usr/local/xemacs/xemacs* ; The executable.
+ /usr/local/xemacs/lisp/ ; The associated directories.
+ /usr/local/xemacs/etc/ ; Any of the files in this list
+ /usr/local/xemacs/lock/ ; could be symbolic links as well.
+ /usr/local/xemacs/info/
+
+As does this:
+
+ /usr/local/bin/xemacs -> ../xemacs/src/xemacs-19.14 ; A link...
+ /usr/local/xemacs/src/xemacs-19.14* ; The executable,
+ /usr/local/xemacs/lisp/ ; and the rest of
+ /usr/local/xemacs/etc/ ; the source tree
+ /usr/local/xemacs/lock/
+ /usr/local/xemacs/info/
+
+This configuration might be used for a multi-architecture installation; assume
+that $LOCAL refers to a directory which contains only files specific to a
+particular architecture (i.e., executables) and $SHARED refers to those files
+which are not machine specific (i.e., lisp code and documentation.)
+
+ $LOCAL/bin/xemacs@ -> $LOCAL/xemacs-19.14/xemacs*
+ $LOCAL/xemacs-19.14/lisp@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/lisp/
+ $LOCAL/xemacs-19.14/etc@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/etc/
+ $LOCAL/xemacs-19.14/info@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/info/
+
+The following would also work, but the above is probably more attractive:
+
+ $LOCAL/bin/xemacs*
+ $LOCAL/bin/lisp@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/lisp/
+ $LOCAL/bin/etc@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/etc/
+ $LOCAL/bin/info@ -> $SHARED/xemacs-19.14/info/
+
+If Emacs can't find the requisite directories, it writes a message like this
+(or some appropriate subset of it) to stderr:
+
+ WARNING:
+ couldn't find an obvious default for load-path, exec-directory, and
+ lock-directory, and there were no defaults specified in paths.h when
+ Emacs was built. Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the Emacs
+ executable, /cadillac-th/jwz/somewhere/xemacs is in a strange place?
+
+ Without both exec-directory and load-path, Emacs will be very broken.
+ Consider making a symbolic link from /cadillac-th/jwz/somewhere/etc
+ to wherever the appropriate Emacs etc/ directory is, and from
+ /cadillac-th/jwz/somewhere/lisp/ to wherever the appropriate Emacs
+ lisp library is.
+
+ Without lock-directory set, file locking won't work. Consider
+ creating /cadillac-th/jwz/somewhere/lock as a directory or symbolic
+ link for use as the lock directory.
+
+The default installation tree is the following:
+
+ /usr/local/bin/b2m ;
+ ctags ; executables that
+ emacsclient ; should be in
+ etags ; user's path
+ xemacs -> xemacs-<version> ;
+ xemacs ;
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs/lock
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs-<version>/etc ; architecture ind. files
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs-<version>/info
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs-<version>/lisp
+ /usr/local/lib/xemacs-<version>/<configuration> ; binaries emacs may run
+
+
+*** X Resources
+---------------
+
+(Note: This section is copied verbatim from the XEmacs Reference Manual.)
+
+ The Emacs resources are generally set per-frame. Each Emacs frame
+can have its own name or the same name as another, depending on the
+name passed to the `make-frame' function.
+
+ You can specify resources for all frames with the syntax:
+
+ Emacs*parameter: value
+
+or
+
+ Emacs*EmacsFrame.parameter:value
+
+You can specify resources for a particular frame with the syntax:
+
+ Emacs*FRAME-NAME.parameter: value
+
+
+**** Geometry Resources
+-----------------------
+
+ To make the default size of all Emacs frames be 80 columns by 55
+lines, do this:
+
+ Emacs*EmacsFrame.geometry: 80x55
+
+To set the geometry of a particular frame named `fred', do this:
+
+ Emacs*fred.geometry: 80x55
+
+Important! Do not use the following syntax:
+
+ Emacs*geometry: 80x55
+
+You should never use `*geometry' with any X application. It does not
+say "make the geometry of Emacs be 80 columns by 55 lines." It really
+says, "make Emacs and all subwindows thereof be 80x55 in whatever units
+they care to measure in." In particular, that is both telling the
+Emacs text pane to be 80x55 in characters, and telling the menubar pane
+to be 80x55 pixels, which is surely not what you want.
+
+ As a special case, this geometry specification also works (and sets
+the default size of all Emacs frames to 80 columns by 55 lines):
+
+ Emacs.geometry: 80x55
+
+since that is the syntax used with most other applications (since most
+other applications have only one top-level window, unlike Emacs). In
+general, however, the top-level shell (the unmapped ApplicationShell
+widget named `Emacs' that is the parent of the shell widgets that
+actually manage the individual frames) does not have any interesting
+resources on it, and you should set the resources on the frames instead.
+
+ The `-geometry' command-line argument sets only the geometry of the
+initial frame created by Emacs.
+
+ A more complete explanation of geometry-handling is
+
+ * The `-geometry' command-line option sets the `Emacs.geometry'
+ resource, that is, the geometry of the ApplicationShell.
+
+ * For the first frame created, the size of the frame is taken from
+ the ApplicationShell if it is specified, otherwise from the
+ geometry of the frame.
+
+ * For subsequent frames, the order is reversed: First the frame, and
+ then the ApplicationShell.
+
+ * For the first frame created, the position of the frame is taken
+ from the ApplicationShell (`Emacs.geometry') if it is specified,
+ otherwise from the geometry of the frame.
+
+ * For subsequent frames, the position is taken only from the frame,
+ and never from the ApplicationShell.
+
+ This is rather complicated, but it does seem to provide the most
+intuitive behavior with respect to the default sizes and positions of
+frames created in various ways.
+
+
+**** Iconic Resources
+---------------------
+
+ Analogous to `-geometry', the `-iconic' command-line option sets the
+iconic flag of the ApplicationShell (`Emacs.iconic') and always applies
+to the first frame created regardless of its name. However, it is
+possible to set the iconic flag on particular frames (by name) by using
+the `Emacs*FRAME-NAME.iconic' resource.
+
+
+**** Resource List
+------------------
+
+ Emacs frames accept the following resources:
+
+`geometry' (class `Geometry'): string
+ Initial geometry for the frame. *Note Geometry Resources:: for a
+ complete discussion of how this works.
+
+`iconic' (class `Iconic'): boolean
+ Whether this frame should appear in the iconified state.
+
+`internalBorderWidth' (class `InternalBorderWidth'): int
+ How many blank pixels to leave between the text and the edge of the
+ window.
+
+`interline' (class `Interline'): int
+ How many pixels to leave between each line (may not be
+ implemented).
+
+`menubar' (class `Menubar'): boolean
+ Whether newly-created frames should initially have a menubar. Set
+ to true by default.
+
+`initiallyUnmapped' (class `InitiallyUnmapped'): boolean
+ Whether XEmacs should leave the initial frame unmapped when it
+ starts up. This is useful if you are starting XEmacs as a server
+ (e.g. in conjunction with gnuserv or the external client widget).
+ You can also control this with the `-unmapped' command-line option.
+
+`barCursor' (class `BarColor'): boolean
+ Whether the cursor should be displayed as a bar, or the
+ traditional box.
+
+`textPointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to use when the mouse is over text. This resource is
+ used to initialize the variable `x-pointer-shape'.
+
+`selectionPointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to use when the mouse is over a selectable text region
+ (an extent with the `highlight' property; for example, an Info
+ cross-reference). This resource is used to initialize the variable
+ `x-selection-pointer-shape'.
+
+`spacePointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to use when the mouse is over a blank space in a buffer
+ (that is, after the end of a line or after the end-of-file). This
+ resource is used to initialize the variable
+ `x-nontext-pointer-shape'.
+
+`modeLinePointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to use when the mouse is over a mode line. This
+ resource is used to initialize the variable `x-mode-pointer-shape'.
+
+`gcPointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to display when a garbage-collection is in progress.
+ This resource is used to initialize the variable
+ `x-gc-pointer-shape'.
+
+`scrollbarPointer' (class `Cursor'): cursor-name
+ The cursor to use when the mouse is over the scrollbar. This
+ resource is used to initialize the variable
+ `x-scrollbar-pointer-shape'.
+
+`pointerColor' (class `Foreground'): color-name
+`pointerBackground' (class `Background'): color-name
+ The foreground and background colors of the mouse cursor. These
+ resources are used to initialize the variables
+ `x-pointer-foreground-color' and `x-pointer-background-color'.
+
+`scrollBarWidth' (class `ScrollBarWidth'): integer
+ How wide the vertical scrollbars should be, in pixels; 0 means no
+ vertical scrollbars. You can also use a resource specification of
+ the form `*scrollbar.width', or the usual toolkit scrollbar
+ resources: `*XmScrollBar.width' (Motif), `*XlwScrollBar.width'
+ (Lucid), or `*Scrollbar.thickness' (Athena). We don't recommend
+ that you use the toolkit resources, though, because they're
+ dependent on how exactly your particular build of XEmacs was
+ configured.
+
+`scrollBarHeight' (class `ScrollBarHeight'): integer
+ How high the horizontal scrollbars should be, in pixels; 0 means no
+ horizontal scrollbars. You can also use a resource specification
+ of the form `*scrollbar.height', or the usual toolkit scrollbar
+ resources: `*XmScrollBar.height' (Motif), `*XlwScrollBar.height'
+ (Lucid), or `*Scrollbar.thickness' (Athena). We don't recommend
+ that you use the toolkit resources, though, because they're
+ dependent on how exactly your particular build of XEmacs was
+ configured.
+
+`scrollBarPlacement' (class `ScrollBarPlacement'): string
+ Where the horizontal and vertical scrollbars should be positioned.
+ This should be one of the four strings `bottom-left',
+ `bottom-right', `top-left', and `top-right'. Default is
+ `bottom-right' for the Motif and Lucid scrollbars and
+ `bottom-left' for the Athena scrollbars.
+
+`topToolBarHeight' (class `TopToolBarHeight'): integer
+`bottomToolBarHeight' (class `BottomToolBarHeight'): integer
+`leftToolBarWidth' (class `LeftToolBarWidth'): integer
+`rightToolBarWidth' (class `RightToolBarWidth'): integer
+ Height and width of the four possible toolbars.
+
+`topToolBarShadowColor' (class `TopToolBarShadowColor'): color-name
+`bottomToolBarShadowColor' (class `BottomToolBarShadowColor'): color-name
+ Color of the top and bottom shadows for the toolbars. NOTE: These
+ resources do *not* have anything to do with the top and bottom
+ toolbars (i.e. the toolbars at the top and bottom of the frame)!
+ Rather, they affect the top and bottom shadows around the edges of
+ all four kinds of toolbars.
+
+`topToolBarShadowPixmap' (class `TopToolBarShadowPixmap'): pixmap-name
+`bottomToolBarShadowPixmap' (class `BottomToolBarShadowPixmap'): pixmap-name
+ Pixmap of the top and bottom shadows for the toolbars. If set,
+ these resources override the corresponding color resources. NOTE:
+ These resources do *not* have anything to do with the top and
+ bottom toolbars (i.e. the toolbars at the top and bottom of the
+ frame)! Rather, they affect the top and bottom shadows around the
+ edges of all four kinds of toolbars.
+
+`toolBarShadowThickness' (class `ToolBarShadowThickness'): integer
+ Thickness of the shadows around the toolbars, in pixels.
+
+`visualBell' (class `VisualBell'): boolean
+ Whether XEmacs should flash the screen rather than making an
+ audible beep.
+
+`bellVolume' (class `BellVolume'): integer
+ Volume of the audible beep.
+
+`useBackingStore' (class `UseBackingStore'): boolean
+ Whether XEmacs should set the backing-store attribute of the X
+ windows it creates. This increases the memory usage of the X
+ server but decreases the amount of X traffic necessary to update
+ the screen, and is useful when the connection to the X server goes
+ over a low-bandwidth line such as a modem connection.
+
+
+**** Face Resources
+-------------------
+
+ The attributes of faces are also per-frame. They can be specified as:
+
+ Emacs.FACE_NAME.parameter: value
+
+ (*do not* use `Emacs*FACE_NAME...')
+
+or
+
+ Emacs*FRAME_NAME.FACE_NAME.parameter: value
+
+Faces accept the following resources:
+
+`attributeFont' (class `AttributeFont'): font-name
+ The font of this face.
+
+`attributeForeground' (class `AttributeForeground'): color-name
+`attributeBackground' (class `AttributeBackground'): color-name
+ The foreground and background colors of this face.
+
+`attributeBackgroundPixmap' (class `AttributeBackgroundPixmap'): file-name
+ The name of an XBM file (or XPM file, if your version of Emacs
+ supports XPM), to use as a background stipple.
+
+`attributeUnderline' (class `AttributeUnderline'): boolean
+ Whether text in this face should be underlined.
+
+ All text is displayed in some face, defaulting to the face named
+`default'. To set the font of normal text, use
+`Emacs*default.attributeFont'. To set it in the frame named `fred', use
+`Emacs*fred.default.attributeFont'.
+
+ These are the names of the predefined faces:
+
+`default'
+ Everything inherits from this.
+
+`bold'
+ If this is not specified in the resource database, Emacs tries to
+ find a bold version of the font of the default face.
+
+`italic'
+ If this is not specified in the resource database, Emacs tries to
+ find an italic version of the font of the default face.
+
+`bold-italic'
+ If this is not specified in the resource database, Emacs tries to
+ find a bold-italic version of the font of the default face.
+
+`modeline'
+ This is the face that the modeline is displayed in. If not
+ specified in the resource database, it is determined from the
+ default face by reversing the foreground and background colors.
+
+`highlight'
+ This is the face that highlighted extents (for example, Info
+ cross-references and possible completions, when the mouse passes
+ over them) are displayed in.
+
+`left-margin'
+`right-margin'
+ These are the faces that the left and right annotation margins are
+ displayed in.
+
+`zmacs-region'
+ This is the face that mouse selections are displayed in.
+
+`text-cursor'
+ This is the face that the cursor is displayed in.
+
+`isearch'
+ This is the face that the matched text being searched for is
+ displayed in.
+
+`info-node'
+ This is the face of info menu items. If unspecified, it is copied
+ from `bold-italic'.
+
+`info-xref'
+ This is the face of info cross-references. If unspecified, it is
+ copied from `bold'. (Note that, when the mouse passes over a
+ cross-reference, the cross-reference's face is determined from a
+ combination of the `info-xref' and `highlight' faces.)
+
+ Other packages might define their own faces; to see a list of all
+faces, use any of the interactive face-manipulation commands such as
+`set-face-font' and type `?' when you are prompted for the name of a
+face.
+
+ If the `bold', `italic', and `bold-italic' faces are not specified
+in the resource database, then XEmacs attempts to derive them from the
+font of the default face. It can only succeed at this if you have
+specified the default font using the XLFD (X Logical Font Description)
+format, which looks like
+
+ *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
+
+If you use any of the other, less strict font name formats, some of
+which look like
+
+ lucidasanstypewriter-12
+ fixed
+ 9x13
+
+ then XEmacs won't be able to guess the names of the bold and italic
+versions. All X fonts can be referred to via XLFD-style names, so you
+should use those forms. See the man pages for `X(1)', `xlsfonts(1)',
+and `xfontsel(1)'.
+
+
+**** Widgets
+------------
+
+ There are several structural widgets between the terminal EmacsFrame
+widget and the top level ApplicationShell; the exact names and types of
+these widgets change from release to release (for example, they changed
+in 19.9, 19.10, 19.12, and 19.13) and are subject to further change in
+the future, so you should avoid mentioning them in your resource database.
+The above-mentioned syntaxes should be forward-compatible. As of 19.14,
+the exact widget hierarchy is as follows:
+
+ INVOCATION-NAME "shell" "container" FRAME-NAME
+ x-emacs-application-class "TopLevelEmacsShell" "EmacsManager" "EmacsFrame"
+
+(for normal frames)
+
+or
+
+ INVOCATION-NAME "shell" "container" FRAME-NAME
+ x-emacs-application-class "TransientEmacsShell" "EmacsManager" "EmacsFrame"
+
+(for popup/dialog-box frames)
+
+where INVOCATION-NAME is the terminal component of the name of the
+XEmacs executable (usually `xemacs'), and `x-emacs-application-class'
+is generally `Emacs'.
+
+
+**** Menubar Resources
+----------------------
+
+ As the menubar is implemented as a widget which is not a part of
+XEmacs proper, it does not use the face mechanism for specifying fonts
+and colors: It uses whatever resources are appropriate to the type of
+widget which is used to implement it.
+
+ If Emacs was compiled to use only the Motif-lookalike menu widgets,
+then one way to specify the font of the menubar would be
+
+ Emacs*menubar*font: *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
+
+ If the Motif library is being used, then one would have to use
+
+ Emacs*menubar*fontList: *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
+
+ because the Motif library uses the `fontList' resource name instead
+of `font', which has subtly different semantics.
+
+ The same is true of the scrollbars: They accept whichever resources
+are appropriate for the toolkit in use.
+
+
+*** Source Code Highlighting
+----------------------------
+
+It's possible to have your buffers "decorated" with fonts or colors
+indicating syntactic structures (such as strings, comments, function names,
+"reserved words", etc.). In XEmacs, the preferred way to do this is with
+font-lock-mode; activate it by adding the following code to your .emacs file:
+
+ (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+ (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+ (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+ (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
+ ...etc...
+
+To customize it, see the descriptions of the function `font-lock-mode' and
+the variables `font-lock-keywords', `c-font-lock-keywords', etc.
+
+There exist several other source code highlighting packages, but font-lock
+does one thing that most others don't do: highlights as you type new text;
+and one thing that no others do: bases part of its decoration on the
+syntax table of the major mode. Font-lock has C-level support to do this
+efficiently, so it should also be significantly faster than the others.
+
+If there's something that another highlighting package does that you can't
+make font-lock do, let us know. We would prefer to consolidate all of the
+desired functionality into one package rather than ship several different
+packages which do essentially the same thing in different ways.
+
+
+** Differences Between XEmacs and Emacs 18
+==========================================
+
+Auto-configure support has been added, so it should be fairly easy to compile
+XEmacs on different systems. If you have any problems or feedback about
+compiling on your system, please let us know.
+
+We have reimplemented the basic input model in a more general way; instead of
+X input being a special-case of the normal ASCII input stream, XEmacs has a
+concept of "input events", and ASCII characters are a subset of that. The
+events that XEmacs knows about are not X events, but are a generalization of
+them, so that XEmacs can eventually be ported to different window systems.
+
+We have reimplemented keymaps so that sequences of events can be stored into
+them instead of just ASCII codes; it is possible to, for example, bind
+different commands to each of the chords Control-h, Control-H, Backspace,
+Control-Backspace, and Super-Shift-Backspace. Key bindings, function key
+bindings, and mouse bindings live in the same keymaps.
+
+Input and display of all ISO-8859-1 characters is supported.
+
+You can have multiple X windows ("frames" in XEmacs terminology).
+
+XEmacs has objects called "extents" and "faces", which are roughly
+analogous to Epoch's "buttons," "zones," and "styles." An extent is a
+region of text (a start position and an end position) and a face is a
+collection of textual attributes like fonts and colors. Every extent
+is displayed in some "face", so changing the properties of a face
+immediately updates the display of all associated extents. Faces can
+be frame-local: you can have a region of text which displays with
+completely different attributes when its buffer is viewed from a
+different X window.
+
+The display attributes of faces may be specified either in lisp or through
+the X resource manager.
+
+Pixmaps of arbitrary size can be embedded in a buffer.
+
+Variable width fonts work.
+
+The height of a line is the height of the tallest font on that line, instead
+of all lines having the same height.
+
+XEmacs uses the MIT "Xt" toolkit instead of raw Xlib calls, which
+makes it be a more well-behaved X citizen (and also improves
+portability). A result of this is that it is possible to include
+other Xt "Widgets" in the XEmacs window. Also, XEmacs understands the
+standard Xt command-line arguments.
+
+XEmacs understands the X11 "Selection" mechanism; it's possible to define
+and customize selection converter functions and new selection types from
+Emacs Lisp, without having to recompile XEmacs.
+
+XEmacs provides support for ToolTalk on systems that have it.
+
+XEmacs supports the Zmacs/Lispm style of region highlighting, where the
+region between the point and mark is highlighted when in its "active" state.
+
+XEmacs has a menubar, whose contents are customizable from emacs-lisp.
+This menubar looks Motif-ish, but does not require Motif. If you already
+own Motif, however, you can configure XEmacs to use a *real* Motif menubar
+instead.
+
+XEmacs can ask questions using popup dialog boxes. Any command executed from
+a menu will ask yes/no questions with dialog boxes, while commands executed
+via the keyboard will use the minibuffer.
+
+XEmacs has vertical and horizontal scrollbars.
+
+The initial load-path is computed at run-time, instead of at compile-time.
+This means that if you move the XEmacs executable and associated directories
+to somewhere else, you don't have to recompile anything.
+
+You can specify what the title of the XEmacs windows and icons should be
+with the variables `frame-title-format' and `frame-icon-title-format',
+which have the same syntax as `mode-line-format'.
+
+XEmacs now supports floating-point numbers.
+
+XEmacs now knows about timers directly, instead of them being simulated by
+a subprocess.
+
+XEmacs understands truenames, and can be configured to notice when you are
+visiting two names of the same file. See the variables find-file-use-truenames
+and find-file-compare-truenames.
+
+If you're running on a machine with audio hardware, you can specify sound
+files for XEmacs to play instead of the default X beep. See the documentation
+of the function load-sound-file and the variable sound-alist.
+
+An XEmacs frame can be placed within an "external client widget" managed by
+another application. This allows an application to use an XEmacs frame as its
+text pane rather than the standard Text widget that is provided with Motif or
+Athena. XEmacs supports Motif applications, generic Xt (e.g. Athena)
+applications, and raw Xlib applications.
+
+Random changes to the emacs-lisp library: (some of this was not written by
+us, but is included because it's free software and we think it's good stuff)
+
+ - there is a new optimizing byte-compiler
+ - there is a new abbrev-based mail-alias mechanism
+ - the -*- line can contain local-variable settings
+ - there is a new TAGS package
+ - there is a new VI-emulation mode (viper)
+ - there is a new implementation of Dired
+ - there is a new implementation of Isearch
+ - the VM package for reading mail is provided
+ - the W3 package for browsing the World Wide Web hypertext information
+ system is provided
+ - the Hyperbole package, a programmable information management and
+ hypertext system
+ - the OO-Browser package, a multi-language object-oriented browser
+
+There are many more specifics in the "Miscellaneous Changes" section, below.
+
+The online Emacs Manual and Emacs-Lisp Manual are now both relatively
+up-to-date.
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.13 and 19.14
+============================================
+
+XEmacs has a new address! The canonical ftp site is now
+ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs and the Web page is now at
+http://www.xemacs.org/. All mailing lists now have @xemacs.org
+addresses. For the time being the @cs.uiuc.edu addresses will
+continue to function.
+
+This is a major new release. Many features have been added, as well
+as many bugs fixed. The Motif menubar has still _NOT_ been fixed for
+19.14. You should use the Lucid menubar instead.
+
+
+
+Major user-visible changes:
+---------------------------
+
+-- Color support in TTY mode is provided. You have to have a TTY capable
+ of displaying them, such as color xterm or the console under Linux.
+ If your terminal type supports colors (e.g. `xterm-color'), XEmacs
+ will automatically notice this and start using color.
+
+-- blink-cursor-mode enables a blinking text cursor. There is a
+ menubar option for this also.
+
+-- auto-show-mode is turned on by default; this means that XEmacs
+ will automatically scroll a window horizontally as necessary to
+ keep point in view.
+
+-- a file dialog box is provided and will be used whenever you
+ are prompted for a filename as a result of a menubar selection.
+
+-- XEmacs can be compiled with built-in GIF, JPEG, and PNG support.
+ The GIF libraries are supplied with XEmacs; for JPEG and PNG,
+ you have to obtain the appropriate libraries (this is well-
+ documented). This makes image display much easier and faster under
+ W3 (the web browser) and TM (adds MIME support to VM and GNUS;
+ not yet included with XEmacs but will be in 19.15).
+
+-- XEmacs provides a really nice mode (PSGML with "Wing improvements")
+ for editing HTML and other SGML documents. It parses the document,
+ and as a result it does proper indentation, can show you the context
+ you're in, the allowed tags at a particular position, etc.
+
+-- XEmacs comes standard with modes for editing Java and VRML code,
+ including font-lock support.
+
+-- GNUS 5.2 comes standard with XEmacs.
+
+-- You can now embed colors in the modeline, with different sections
+ of the modeline responding appropriately to various mouse gestures:
+ For example, clicking on the "read-only" indicator toggles the
+ read-only status of a buffer, and clicking on the buffer name
+ cycles to the next buffer. Pressing button3 on these areas brings
+ up a popup menu of appropriate commands.
+
+-- There is a much nicer mode for completion lists and such.
+ At the minibuffer prompt, if you hit page-up or Meta-V, the completion
+ buffer will be displayed (if it wasn't already), you're moved into
+ it, and can move around and select filenames using the arrow keys
+ and the return key. Rather than a cursor, a filename is highlighted,
+ and the arrow keys change which filename is highlighted.
+
+-- The edit-faces subsystem has also been much improved, in somewhat
+ similar ways to the completion list improvements.
+
+-- Many improvements were made to the multi-device support.
+ We now provide an auxiliary utility called "gnuattach" that
+ lets you connect to an existing XEmacs process and display
+ a TTY frame on the current TTY connection, and commands
+ `make-frame-on-display' (with a corresponding menubar entry)
+ and `make-frame-on-tty' for more easily creating frames on
+ new TTY or X connections.
+
+-- We have incorporated nearly all of the functionality of GNU Emacs
+ 19.30 into XEmacs. This includes support for lazy-loaded
+ byte code and documentation strings, improved paragraph filling,
+ better support for margins within documents, v19 regular expression
+ routines (including caching of compiled regexps), etc.
+
+-- In accordance with GNU Emacs 19.30, the following key binding
+ changes have been made:
+
+ C-x ESC -> C-x ESC ESC
+ ESC ESC -> ESC :
+ ESC ESC ESC is "abort anything" (keyboard-escape-quit).
+
+-- All major packages have been updated to their latest-released
+ versions.
+
+-- XEmacs now gracefully handles a full colormap (such as typically
+ results when running Netscape). The nearest available color
+ is automatically substituted.
+
+-- Many bug fixes to the subprocess/PTY code, ps-print, menubar
+ functions, `set-text-properties', DEC Alpha support, toolbar
+ resizing (the "phantom VM toolbar" bug), and lots and lots
+ of other things were made.
+
+-- The ncurses library (a replacement for curses, found especially
+ under Linux) is supported, and will be automatically used
+ if it can be found.
+
+-- You can now undo in the minibuffer.
+
+-- Surrogate minibuffers now work. These are also sometimes referred
+ to as "global" minibuffers.
+
+-- font-lock has been merged with GNU Emacs 19.30, improved defaults
+ have been added, and changes have been made to the way it is
+ configured.
+
+-- Many, many modes have menubar entries for them.
+
+-- `recover-session' lets you recover whatever files can be recovered
+ after your XEmacs process has died unexpectedly.
+
+-- C-h k followed by a toolbar button press correctly reports
+ the binding of the toolbar button.
+
+-- `function-key-map', `key-translation-map', and `keyboard-translate-table'
+ are now correctly implemented.
+
+-- `show-message-log' (and its menubar entry under Edit) have been
+ removed; instead use `view-lossage' (and its menubar entry under
+ Help).
+
+-- There is a standard menubar entry for specifying which browser
+ (Netscape, W3, Mosaic, etc.) to use when dispatching URL's
+ in mail, Usenet news, etc.
+
+-- Improved native sound support under Linux.
+
+-- Lots of other things we forgot to mention.
+
+
+
+Significant Lisp-level changes:
+-------------------------------
+
+-- Many improvements to the E-Lisp documentation have been made;
+ it should now be up-to-date and complete in nearly all cases.
+
+-- XEmacs has extensive documentation on its internals, for
+ would-be C hackers.
+
+-- Common-Lisp support (the CL package) is now dumped standard
+ into XEmacs. No more need for (require 'cl) or anything
+ like that.
+
+-- Full support for extents and text properties over strings is
+ provided.
+
+-- The extent properties `start-open', `end-open', `start-closed',
+ and `end-closed' now work correctly w.r.t. text properties.
+
+-- The `face' property of extents and text properties can now
+ be a list.
+
+-- The `mouse-face' property from GNU Emacs is now supported.
+ It supersedes the `highlight' property.
+
+-- `enriched' and `facemenu' packages from GNU Emacs have been ported.
+
+-- New functions for easier creation of dialog boxes:
+ `get-dialog-box-response', `message-box', and `message-or-box'.
+
+-- `function-min-args' and `function-max-args' allow you to determine
+ the minimum and maximum allowed arguments for any type of
+ function (i.e. subr, lambda expression, byte-compiled function, etc.).
+
+-- Some C-level support for doing E-Lisp profiling is provided.
+ See `start-profiling', `stop-profiling', and
+ `pretty-print-profiling-info'.
+
+-- `current-process-time' reports the user, system, and real times
+ for the currently running XEmacs process.
+
+-- `next-window', `previous-window', `next-frame', `previous-frame',
+ `other-window', `get-lru-window', etc. have an extra device
+ argument that allows you to restrict which devices it includes
+ (normally all devices). Some functions that incorrectly ignored
+ frames on different devices (e.g. C-x 0) are fixed.
+
+-- new functions `run-hook-with-args-until-success',
+ `run-hook-with-args-until-failure'.
+
+-- generalized facility for local vs. global hooks. See `make-local-hook',
+ `add-hook'.
+
+-- New functions for querying the window tree: `frame-leftmost-window',
+ `frame-rightmost-window', `window-first-hchild', `window-first-vchild',
+ `window-next-child', `window-previous-child', and `window-parent'.
+
+-- Epoch support works. This gets you direct access to some X events
+ and objects (e.g. properties and property-notify events).
+
+-- The multi-device support has been majorly revamped. There is now
+ a new concept of "consoles" (devices grouped together under a
+ common keyboard/mouse), console-local variables, and a generalized
+ concept of device/console connection.
+
+-- `display-buffer' synched with GNU Emacs 19.30, giving you lots of
+ wondrous cruft such as
+ -- unsplittable frames
+ -- pop-up-frames, pop-up-frame-function
+ -- special-display-buffer-names, special-display-regexps,
+ special-display-function
+ -- same-window-buffer-names, same-window-regexps
+
+-- XEmacs has support for accessing DBM- and/or DB-format databases,
+ provided that you have the appropriate libraries on your system.
+
+-- There is a new font style: "strikethru" fonts.
+
+-- New data type "weak list", which is a list with special
+ garbage-collection properties, similar to weak hash tables.
+
+-- `set-face-parent' makes one face inherit all properties from another.
+
+-- The junky frame parameters mechanism has been revamped as
+ frame properties, which a standard property-list interface.
+
+-- Lots and lots of functions for working with property lists have
+ been added.
+
+-- New functions `push-window-configuration', `pop-window-configuration',
+ `unpop-window-configuration' for maintain a stack of window
+ configurations.
+
+-- Many fixups to the glyph code; icons and mouse pointers are now
+ properly merged into the glyph mechanism.
+
+-- `set-specifier' works more sensibly, like `set-face-property'.
+
+-- Many new specifiers for individually controlling toolbar height/width
+ and visibility and text cursor visibility.
+
+-- New face `text-cursor' controls the colors of the text cursor.
+
+-- Many new variables for turning on debug information about the
+ inner workings of XEmacs.
+
+-- Hash tables can now compare their keys using `equal' or `eql'
+ as well as `eq'.
+
+-- Other things too numerous to mention.
+
+
+
+Significant configuration/build changes:
+----------------------------------------
+
+-- You can disable TTY support, toolbar support, scrollbar support,
+ menubar support, and/or dialog box support at configure time
+ to save memory.
+
+-- New configure option `--extra-verbose' shows the diagnostic
+ output from feature testing; this should help track down
+ problems with incorrect feature detection.
+
+-- `dont-have-xmu' is now `with-xmu', with the reversed sense.
+ (It defaults to `yes'.)
+
+-- `with-mocklisp' lets you add Mocklisp support if you really
+ need this.
+
+-- `with-term' for adding TERM support for Linux users.
+
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.12 and 19.13
+============================================
+
+This is primarily a bug-fix release. Lots of bugs have been fixed.
+Hopefully only a few have been introduced. The most noteworthy bug
+fixes are:
+
+ -- There should be no more problems connecting XEmacs to an X
+ server over SLIP or other slow connections.
+ -- Periodic crashes when using the Buffers menu should be gone.
+ -- etags would sometimes erase the current buffer; it doesn't
+ any more.
+ -- XEmacs will correctly exit if the X server dies.
+ -- uniconified frames are displayed properly under TVTWM.
+ -- Breakage in `add-menu-item' / `add-menu-button' is fixed.
+
+The Motif menubar has _NOT_ been fixed for 19.13. You should use the
+Lucid menubar instead.
+
+Multi-device support should now be working properly. You can now open
+an X device after having started out on a TTY device.
+
+Background pixmaps now work. See `set-face-background-pixmap'.
+
+Echo area messages are now saved to a buffer, " *Message Log*". To
+see this buffer, use the command `show-message-log'. It is possible
+to filter the message which are actually included by modifying the
+variables `log-message-ignore-regexps' and `log-message-ignore-labels'.
+
+You can now control which warnings you want to see. See
+`display-warning-suppressed-classes' and friends.
+
+You can now set the default location of an "other window" from the
+Options menu.
+
+"Save Options" now saves the state of all faces.
+
+You can choose which file "Save Options" writes into; see
+`save-options-file'.
+
+XPM support is no longer required for the toolbar.
+
+The relocating allocator is now enabled by default whenever possible.
+This allows buffer memory to be returned to the system when no longer
+in use which helps keep XEmacs process size down.
+
+The ability to have captioned toolbars has been added. Currently only
+the default toolbar actually has a captioned version provided. A new
+specifier variable, `toolbar-buttons-captioned-p' controls whether the
+toolbar is captioned.
+
+A copy of the XEmacs FAQ is now included and is available through info.
+
+The on-line E-Lisp reference manual has been significantly updated.
+
+There is now audio support under Linux.
+
+Modifier keys can now be sticky. This is controlled by the variable
+`modifier-keys-are-sticky'.
+
+manual-entry should now work correctly under Irix with the penalty of
+a longer startup time the first time it is invoked. If you are having
+problems with this on another system try setting
+`Manual-use-subdirectory-list' to t.
+
+make-tty-device no longer automatically creates the first frame.
+
+Rectangular regions now work correctly.
+
+ediff no longer sets synchronize-minibuffers to t unless you first set
+ediff-synchronize-minibuffers
+
+keyboard-translate-table has been implemented. This means that the
+`enable-flow-control' command for dealing with TTY connections that
+filter out ^S and ^Q now works.
+
+You can now create frames that are initially unmapped and frames that
+are "transient for another frame", meaning that they behave more like
+dialog-box frames.
+
+Other E-Lisp changes:
+
+-- Specifier `menubar-visible-p' for controlling menubar visibility
+-- Local command hooks should be set using `local-pre-command-hook'
+ and `local-post-command-hook' instead of making the global
+ equivalents be buffer-local.
+-- `quit-char', `help-char', `meta-prefix-char' can be any key specifier
+ instead of just an integer.
+-- new functions `add-async-timeout' and `disable-async-timeout'.
+ These let you create asynchronous timeouts, which are like
+ normal timeouts except that they're executed even during
+ running Lisp code. Use this with care!
+-- `debug-on-error' and `stack-trace-on-error' now enter the debugger
+ only when an *unhandled* error occurs. If you want the old
+ behavior, use `debug-on-signal' and `stack-trace-on-signal'.
+-- \U, \L, \u, \l, \E recognized specially in `replace-match'.
+ These are standard ex/perl commands for changing the case of
+ replaced text.
+-- New function event-matches-key-specifier-p. This provides
+ a clean way of comparing keypress events with key specifiers
+ such as 65, (shift home), etc. without having to resort
+ to ugly `character-to-event' / `event-to-character' hacks.
+-- New function `add-to-list'
+-- New Common-Lisp functions `some', `every', `notevery', `notany',
+ `adjoin', `union', `intersection', `set-difference',
+ `set-exclusive-or', `subsetp'
+-- `remove-face-property' provides a clean way of removing a
+ face property.
+
+Many of the Emacs Lisp packages have been updated. Some of the new
+Emacs Lisp packages ---
+
+ada-mode: major mode for editing Ada source
+
+arc-mode: simple editing of archives
+
+auto-show-mode: automatically scrolls horizontally to keep point on-screen
+
+completion: dynamic word completion mode
+
+dabbrev: the dynamic abbrev package has been rewritten and is much
+ more powerful -- e.g. it searches in other buffers as well
+ as the current one
+
+easymenu: menu support package
+
+live-icon: makes frame icons represent the current frame contents
+
+mailcrypt 3.2: mail encryption with PGP; included but v2.4 is still
+ the default
+
+two-column: for editing two-column text
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.11 and 19.12
+============================================
+
+This is a huge new release. Almost every aspect of XEmacs has been changed
+at least somewhat. The highlights are:
+
+-- TTY support (includes face support)
+-- new redisplay engine; should be faster, less buggy, and more powerful
+-- terminology change from "screen" to "frame"
+-- built-in toolbar
+-- toolbar support added to many packages
+-- multiple device support (still in beta; improvements to come in
+ 19.13)
+-- Purify used to ensure that there are no memory leaks or memory corruption
+ problems
+-- horizontal and vertical scrollbars in all windows
+-- new Lucid (i.e. look-alike Motif) scrollbar widget
+-- stay-up menus in the Lucid (look-alike Motif) menubar widget
+-- 3-d modeline
+-- new extents engine; should be faster, less buggy, and more powerful
+-- much more powerful control over faces
+-- expanded menubar
+-- more work on synching with GNU Emacs 19.28
+-- new packages: Hyperbole, OOBR (object browser), hm--html-menus, viper,
+ lazy-lock.el, ksh-mode.el, rsz-minibuf.el
+-- package updates for all major packages
+-- dynodump package for Solaris: provides proper undumping and portable
+ binaries across different OS versions and machine types
+-- Greatly expanded concept of "glyphs" (pixmaps etc. in a buffer)
+-- built-in support for displaying X-Faces, if the X-Face library is
+ available
+-- built-in support for SOCKS if the SOCKS library is available
+-- graceful behavior when the colormap is full (e.g. Netscape ate
+ all the colors)
+-- built-in MD5 (secure hashing function) support
+
+
+More specific information:
+
+*** TTY Support
+---------------
+
+The long-awaited TTY support is now available. XEmacs will start up
+in TTY mode (using the tty you started XEmacs from) if the DISPLAY
+environment variable is not set or if you use the `-nw' option.
+
+Faces are available on TTY's. For a demonstration, try editing a C
+file and turning on font-lock-mode.
+
+You can also connect to additional TTY's using `make-tty-device',
+whether your first frame was a TTY or an X window. This ability is
+not yet completely finished.
+
+The full event-loop capabilities (processes, timeouts, etc.) are
+available on TTY's.
+
+
+
+*** New Redisplay Engine
+------------------------
+
+The redisplay engine has been rewritten to improve its efficiency and
+to increase its functionality. It should also be significantly more
+bug-free than the previous redisplay engine.
+
+A line that is not big enough to display at the bottom of the window
+will normally be clipped (so that it is partially visible) rather than
+not displayed at all. The variable `pixel-vertical-clip-threshold'
+can be used to control the minimum space that must be available for a
+line to be clipped rather than not displayed at all.
+
+Tabs are displayed in such a way that things line up fairly well even
+in the presence of variable-width fonts and/or lines with
+multiply-sized fonts.
+
+Display tables are implemented, through the specifier variable
+`current-display-table'. They can be buffer-local, window-local,
+frame-local, or device-local. See below for info about specifiers.
+
+
+
+*** Toolbar
+-----------
+
+There is now built-in support for a toolbar. A sample toolbar is
+visible by default at the top of the frame. Four separate toolbars
+can be configured (at the top, bottom, left, and right of the frame).
+The toolbar specification is similar to the menubar specification.
+The up, down, and disabled glyphs of a toolbar button can be
+separately controlled. Explanatory text can be echoed in the echo
+area when the mouse passes over a toolbar button. The size, contents,
+and visibility of the various toolbars can be controlled on a
+per-buffer, per-window, per-frame, and per-device basis through the
+use of specifiers. See the chapter on toolbars in the Lisp Reference
+Manual (included with XEmacs) for more information.
+
+The toolbar color and shadow thicknesses are currently controlled only
+through `modify-frame-parameters' and through X resources. We are
+planning on making these controllable through specifiers as well. (Our
+hope is to make `modify-frame-parameters' obsolete, as it is a clunky
+and not very powerful mechanism.)
+
+Info, GNUS, VM, W3, and various other packages include custom toolbars
+with them.
+
+
+
+*** Menubar
+-----------
+
+Stay-up menus are implemented in the look-alike Motif menubar.
+
+The default menubar has been expanded to include most commonly-used
+functions in XEmacs.
+
+The options menu has been greatly expanded to include many more
+options.
+
+The menubar specification format has been greatly expanded. Per-menu
+activation hooks can be specified through the :filter keyword (thus
+obsoleting `activate-menubar-hook'); this allows for fast response
+time when you have a large and complex menu. You can dynamically
+control whether menu items are present through the :included and
+:config keywords. (The latter keyword implements a simple menubar
+configuration scheme, in conjunction with the variable
+`menubar-configuration'.) Many different menu-item separators (single
+or double line; solid or dashed; flat, etched-in, or etched-out) are
+available. See the chapter on menus in the Lisp Reference Manual for
+more information about all of this.
+
+New functions `add-submenu' and `add-menu-button' are available.
+These supersede the older `add-menu' and `add-menu-item' functions,
+and provide a more powerful and consistent interface.
+
+New convenience functions for popping up the part or all of the
+menubar in a pop-up menu are available: `popup-menubar-menu' and
+`popup-buffer-menu'.
+
+Menus are now incrementally constructed greatly improving menubar
+response time.
+
+
+
+*** Scrollbars
+--------------
+
+A look-alike Motif scrollbar is now included with XEmacs. No longer
+will you have to suffer with ugly Athena scrollbars.
+
+Windows can now have horizontal scrollbars. Normally they are visible
+when the window's buffer is set to truncate lines rather than wrap
+them (e.g. `(setq truncate-lines t)').
+
+All windows, not only the right-most ones, can have vertical
+scrollbars.
+
+The functions to change a scrollbar's width have been superseded by
+the specifier variables `scrollbar-width' and `scrollbar-height'.
+This allows their values to be controlled on a buffer-local,
+window-local, frame-local, and device-local basis. See below.
+
+The scrollbars interact better with the event loop (for example, you
+can type `C-h k', do a scrollbar action, and see a description of this
+scrollbar action printed as if you had pressed a key sequence or
+selected a menu item).
+
+The scrollbar behavior can be reprogrammed, by advising the
+`scrollbar-*' functions.
+
+
+
+*** Key Bindings
+----------------
+
+The oft-used function `goto-line' now has its own binding: M-g.
+
+New bindings are available for scrolling the "other" window: M-next,
+M-prior, M-home, M-end. (On many keyboards, `next' and `prior'
+labelled `PgUp' and `PgDn'.)
+
+You can reactivate a deactivated Zmacs region, without having any
+other effects, with the binding M-C-z.
+
+The bindings `M-u', `M-l', and `M-c' now work on the region (if a
+region is active) or work on a word, as before.
+
+Shift-Control-G forces a "critical quit", which drops immediately into
+the debugger; see below.
+
+
+
+*** Modeline
+------------
+
+The modeline can now have a 3-d look; this is enabled by default. The
+specifier variable `modeline-shadow-thickness' controls the size.
+
+The modeline can now be turned off on a per-buffer, per-window,
+per-frame, or per-device basis. The specifier variable
+`has-modeline-p' controls whether the modeline is visible. See below
+for details about the vastly powerful specifier mechanism.
+
+The modeline functions and variables have been renamed to be
+`*-modeline-*' rather than `*-mode-line-*'. Aliases are provided for
+all the old names.
+
+Variable width fonts now work correctly when used in the modeline.
+
+
+
+*** Minibuffer, Echo Area
+-------------------------
+
+The minibuffer is no longer constrained to be one line high. The
+package rsz-minibuf.el is included to automatically resize the
+minibuffer when its contents are too big; enable this with
+`resize-minibuffer-mode'.
+
+The echo area is now a true buffer, called " *Echo Area*". This
+allows you to customize the echo area behavior through
+before-change-functions and after-change-functions.
+
+
+
+*** Specifiers
+--------------
+
+XEmacs has a new concept called "specifiers", used to configure most
+display options (toolbar size and contents, scrollbar size, face
+properties, modeline visibility and shadow-thickness, glyphs, display
+tables, etc.). We are planning on converting all display
+characteristics to use specifiers, and obsoleting the clunky functions
+`frame-parameters' and `modify-frame-parameters'. Specifically:
+
+-- You can specify values (called "instantiators") for particular
+ "locales" (i.e. buffers, windows, frames, devices, or a global value).
+ When determining what the actual value (or "instance") of a specifier
+ is, the specifications that are provided are searched from most
+ specific (i.e. buffer-local) to most general (i.e. global), looking
+ for a matching one.
+
+-- You can specify multiple instantiators for a particular locale.
+ For example, when specifying what the foreground color of a face
+ is in a particular buffer, you could specify two instantiators:
+ "dark sea green" and "green". The color would then be dark sea
+ green on devices that recognize that color, and green on other
+ devices. You have effectively provided a fallback value to make
+ sure you get reasonable behavior on all devices.
+
+-- You can add one or more tags to an instantiator, where a tag
+ is a symbol that has been previously registered with XEmacs.
+ This allows you to identify your instantiators for later
+ removal in a way that won't interfere with other applications
+ using the same specifier. Furthermore, particular tags can
+ be restricted to match only particular sorts of devices.
+ Any tagged instantiator will be ignored if the device over which
+ it is being instanced does not match any of its tags. This
+ allows you, for example, to restrict an instantiator to a
+ particular device type (X or TTY) and/or class (color, grayscale,
+ or mono). (You might want to specify, for example, that a
+ particular face is displayed in green on color devices and is
+ underlined on mono devices.)
+
+-- A full API is provided for manipulating specifiers, and full
+ documentation is provided in the Lisp Reference Manual.
+
+
+
+*** Basic Lisp Stuff
+--------------------
+
+Common-Lisp backquote syntax is recognized. For example, the old
+expression
+
+(` (a b (, c)))
+
+can now be written
+
+`(a b ,c)
+
+The old backquote syntax is still accepted.
+
+The new function `type-of' returns a symbol describing the type of a
+Lisp object (`integer', `string', `symbol', etc.)
+
+Symbols beginning with a colon (called "keywords") are treated
+specially in that they are automatically made self-evaluating when
+they are interned into `obarray'. The new function `keywordp' returns
+whether a symbol begins with a colon.
+
+`get', `put', and `remprop' have been generalized to allow you to set
+and retrieve properties on many different kinds of objects: symbols,
+strings, faces, glyphs, and extents (for extents, however, this is not
+yet implemented). They are joined by a new function `object-props'
+that returns all of the properties that have been set on an object.
+
+New functions `plists-eq' and `plists-equal' are provided for
+comparing property lists (a property list is an alternating list
+of keys and values).
+
+The Common-Lisp functions `caar', `cadr', `cdar', `cddr', `caaar', etc.
+(up to four a's and/or d's), `first', `second', `third', etc. (up to
+`tenth'), `last', `rest', and `endp' have been added, for more
+convenient manipulation of lists.
+
+New function `mapvector' maps over a sequence and returns a vector
+of the results, analogous to `mapcar'.
+
+New functions `rassoc', `remassoc', `remassq', `remrassoc', and
+`remrassq' are provided for working with alists.
+
+New functions `defvaralias', `variable-alias' and `indirect-variable'
+are provided for creating variable aliases.
+
+Strings have a modified-tick that is bumped every time a string
+is modified in-place with `aset' or `fillarray'. This is retrieved
+with the new function `string-modified-tick'.
+
+New macro `push' destructively adds an element to the beginning of a
+list. New macro `pop' destructively removes and returns the first
+element of a list.
+
+
+
+*** Buffers
+-----------
+
+Most functions that operate on buffer text now take an optional BUFFER
+argument, specifying which buffer they operate on. (Previously, they
+always operated on the current buffer.)
+
+The new function `transpose-regions' is provided, ported from GNU
+Emacs.
+
+The new function `save-current-buffer' works like `save-excursion'
+but only saves the current buffer, not the location of point in
+that buffer.
+
+
+
+*** Devices
+-----------
+
+XEmacs has a new concept of "device", which is represents a particular
+X display or TTY connection. `make-frame' has a new, optional device
+parameter that allows you to specify which device the frame is to be
+created on.
+
+Multiple simultaneous TTY and/or X connections may be made. The
+specifier mechanism provides reasonable behavior of glyphs, faces,
+etc. over heterogeneous device types and over devices whose individual
+capabilities may vary.
+
+There is also a device type called "stream" that represents a STDIO
+device that has no redisplay or cursor-motion capabilities, such as
+the "glass terminal" that XEmacs uses when it is run noninteractively.
+There is not all that much you can do with stream devices currently;
+please let us know if there are good uses you can think of for this
+capability. (For example, log files?)
+
+A new device API is provided. Functions are provided such as
+`device-name' (the name of the device, which generally is based on the
+X display or TTY file name), `device-type' (X, TTY, or stream),
+`device-class' (color, grayscale, or mono), etc. See the Lisp
+Reference Manual.
+
+Many functions have been extended to contain an additional, optional
+device argument, where such an extension makes sense. In general, if
+the argument is omitted, it is equivalent to specifying
+`(selected-device)'.
+
+Many previous functions and variables are obsoleted in favor of the
+device API. For example, `window-system' is obsoleted by
+`device-type', and `x-color-display-p' and friends are obsoleted by
+`device-class'.
+
+*** NOTE **: The obsolete variable `window-system' is going
+to be deleted soon, probably in 19.14. Please correct all
+your code to use `device-type'.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The function `x-display-visual-class'
+returns different values from previous versions of XEmacs.
+
+
+
+*** Errors, Warnings, C-g
+-------------------------
+
+There is a new warnings system implemented. Many warnings that were
+formerly displayed in various ad-hoc ways (e.g. warnings about screwy
+modifier mappings, messages about failures handling the mouse cursor
+and errors in a gc-hook) have been regularized through this system.
+The new function `warn' displays a warning before the next redisplay
+(the actually display of the warning messages is accomplished through
+`display-warning-buffer'). Both `warn' and `display-warning-buffer'
+are Lisp functions (the C code calls out to them as necessary), and
+thus you can customize the warning system.
+
+Under an X display, you can press Shift-Control-G to force a "critical
+quit". This will immediately display a backtrace and pop you into the
+debugger, regardless of the settings of `inhibit-quit' and
+`debug-on-quit'.
+
+C-g now works properly even on systems that don't implement SIGIO or
+for which SIGIO is broken (e.g. IRIX 5.3 and older versions of Linux).
+In addition, the SIGIO support has been fixed for many systems on
+which it didn't always work properly before (e.g. HPUX and Solaris).
+
+
+
+*** Events
+----------
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: Many event functions have been changed to
+accept and return windows instead of frames.
+
+New function: `event-live-p', specifying whether `deallocate-event'
+has been called on an event.
+
+The "menu event" type has been renamed to "misc-user event", and
+encompasses scrollbar events as well as menu events. We are planning
+on making it also encompass toolbar events in a future release.
+
+New functions are provided for determining whether an particular
+sections of a frame: `event-over-border-p', `event-over-glyph-p',
+`event-over-modeline-p', `event-over-text-area-p', and
+`event-over-toolbar-p'. The old, kludgey methods of checking the
+window-height, the internal-border-width, etc. are unreliable and
+should not be used.
+
+New functions `event-window-x-pixel' and `event-window-y-pixel' are
+provided for determining where in a particular window an event
+happened.
+
+New functions `event-glyph-x-pixel' and `event-glyph-y-pixel' are
+provided for determining where in a particular glyph an event
+happened.
+
+New function `event-closest-point', which returns the closest buffer
+position to the event even if the event did not occur over any text.
+
+New variable `unread-command-events', superseding the older
+`unread-command-event'.
+
+Many event-loop bugs have been fixed.
+
+
+
+*** Extents
+-----------
+
+The extent code has been largely rewritten. It should be faster and
+more reliable.
+
+The text-property implementation has been greatly improved.
+
+Some new extent primitives are provided to return the position of the
+next or previous property change in a buffer.
+
+Extents can now have a parent specified; then all of its properties
+(except for the buffer it's in and its position in that buffer) come
+from that extent. Hierarchies of such extents can be created.
+
+Extents now have a `detachable' property that controls what happens
+(they either get detached or shrink down to zero-length) when their
+text is deleted. Previously, such extents would always be detached.
+
+The `invisible' property on extents now works.
+
+`map-extents' has three additional parameters that provide more
+control over which extents are mapped.
+
+`map-extents' deals better with changes made to extents in the
+buffer being mapped over.
+
+A new function `mapcar-extents' (an alternative to `map-extents') has
+been provided and should be easier to use than `map-extents'.
+
+
+
+*** Faces
+---------
+
+Faces can now be buffer-local, window-local, and device-local as well
+as frame-local, and can be further restricted to a particular device
+type or class. The way in which faces can be controlled is now based
+on the general and powerful specifier mechanism; see above.
+
+The new function `set-face-property' generalizes `set-face-font',
+`set-face-foreground', etc. and takes many new optional arguments, in
+accordance with the new specifier mechanism.
+
+The new functions `face-property' and `face-property-instance'
+generalize `face-font', `face-foreground', etc. and take many new
+optional arguments, in accordance with the new specifier mechanism.
+(`face-property' returns the value, if any, that was specified for a
+particular locale, and `face-property-instance' returns the actual
+value that will be used for display. See the section on specifiers.)
+
+The functions `face-font', `face-foreground', `face-background',
+`set-face-font', `set-face-foreground', `set-face-background',
+etc. are now convenience functions, trivially implemented using
+`face-property' and `set-face-property' and take new optioanl
+arguments in accordance with those functions. New convenience
+functions `face-font-instance', `face-foreground-instance',
+`face-background-instance', etc. are provided and are trivially
+implemented using `face-property-instance'.
+
+Inheritance of face properties can now be specified. Each individual
+face property can inherit differently from other properties, or not
+inherit at all.
+
+You can set user-defined properties on faces using
+`set-face-property'.
+
+You can create "temporary" faces, which are faces that disappear
+when they are no longer in use. This is as opposed to normal
+faces, which stay around forever.
+
+The function `make-face' takes a new optional argument specifying
+whether a face should be permanent or temporary, and returns the
+actual face object rather than the face symbol, as in previous
+versions of XEmacs.
+
+The function `face-list' takes a new optional argument specifying
+whether permanent, temporary, or both kinds of faces should be
+returned.
+
+Faces have new TTY-specific properties: `highlight', `reverse',
+`alternate', `blinking', and `dim'.
+
+Redisplay is smarter about dealing with face changes: changes to a
+particular face no longer cause all frames to be cleared and
+redisplayed.
+
+The Edit-Faces package is provided for interactively changing faces.
+A menu item on the options menu is provided for this.
+
+New functions are provided for retrieving the ascent, descent, height,
+and width of a character in a particular face.
+
+
+
+*** Fonts, Colors
+-----------------
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The old "font" and "pixel" objects are gone.
+In place are new objects "font specifier", "font instance", "color
+specifier", and "color instance". Functions `font-name', `pixel-name'
+(an obsolete alias for `color-name'), etc. are now convenience
+functions for working with font and color specifiers. Old code that
+is not too sophisticated about working with font and pixel objects may
+still work, though. (For example, the idiom `(font-name (face-font
+'default))' still works.)
+
+You can now extract the RGB components of a color-instance object
+(similar to the old pixel object) with the function
+`color-instance-rgb-components'. There is also a convenience function
+`color-rgb-components' for working with color specifiers.
+
+If there are no more colors available in the colormap, the nearest
+existing color will be used when allocating a new color.
+
+
+
+*** Frames
+----------
+
+What used to be called "screens" are now called "frames", for clarity
+and consistency with GNU Emacs. Aliases are provided for all the old
+screen functions and variables, to avoid introducing a huge E-Lisp
+incompatibility.
+
+The frame code has been merged with GNU Emacs 19.28, providing
+improved functionality for many functions.
+
+
+
+*** Glyphs, Images, and Pixmaps
+-------------------------------
+
+Glyphs (used in various places, i.e. as begin-glyphs and end-glyphs
+attached to extents and appearing in a buffer or in marginal
+annotations; as the truncator and continuor glyphs marking line wrap
+or truncation; as an overlay at the beginning of a line; as the
+displayable element in a toolbar button; etc.) can now be
+buffer-local, window-local, frame-local, and device-local, and can be
+further restricted to a particular device type or class. The way in
+which faces can be controlled is now based on the general and powerful
+specifier mechanism; see above.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The glyph and pixmap API has been completely
+overhauled. A new Lisp object "glyph" is provided and should be used
+where the old "pixmap" object would have been used. The pixmap object
+exists no longer. There are also new Lisp objects "image specifier"
+and "image instance" (an image-instance is the closest equivalent to
+what a pixmap object was). More work on glyphs and images is slated
+for 19.13. The glyph and image docs in the Lisp Reference Manual are
+incomplete and will be finished in 19.13.
+
+The new function `set-glyph-property' allows setting of all the
+glyph properties (`baseline', `contrib-p', etc.). Convenience
+functions for particular properties are also provided, just like
+for faces.
+
+You can set user-defined properties on glyphs using the new function
+`set-glyph-property'.
+
+When displaying pixmaps, existing, closest-matching colors will be
+used if the colormap is full.
+
+If the compface library is compiled into XEmacs, there is built-in
+support for displaying X-Face bitmaps. (These are typically small
+pictures of people's faces, included in a mail message through the
+X-Face: header.) VM and highlight-headers will automatically use the
+built-in X-Face support if it is available.
+
+Annotations in the right margin (as well as the left margin) are now
+implemented. The left and right margin width functions have been
+superseded by the specifier variables `left-margin-width' and
+`right-margin-width', allowing much more flexible control through the
+specifier mechanism.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The variable `use-left-overflow',
+for controlling annotations in the left margin, is now a specifier
+variable instead of a buffer-local variable. (There is also a new
+variable `use-right-overflow', that is complementary.)
+
+
+
+*** Hashing
+-----------
+
+Two new types of weak hashtables can be created: key-weak and
+value-weak. In a key-weak hashtable, an entry remains around
+if its key is referenced elsewhere, regardless of whether this
+is also the case for the value. Value-weak hashtables are
+complementary. (This is as opposed to the traditional weak
+hashtables, where an entry remains around only if both the
+key and value are referenced elsewhere.) New functions
+`make-key-weak-hashtable' and `make-value-weak-hashtable'
+are provided for creating these hashtables.
+
+The new function `md5' is provided for performing an MD5
+hash of an object. MD5 is a secure message digest algorithm
+developed by RSA, inc.
+
+
+
+*** Keymaps
+-----------
+
+The GNU Emacs concept of `function-key-map' is now partially
+implemented. This allows conversion of function-key escape sequences
+such as `ESC [ 1 1 ~' into an equivalent human-readable keysym such as
+`F1'. This work will be completed in 19.14. The function-key map is
+device-local and controllable through the functions
+`device-function-key-map' and `set-device-function-key-map'.
+
+`where-is-internal' now correctly searches minor-mode keymaps,
+extent-local keymaps, etc. As a side effect of this, menu items will
+now correctly show the keyboard equivalent for commands that are
+available through a minor-mode keymap, extent-local keymap, etc.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The modifier key "Symbol" has
+been renamed to "Alt", for compatibility with the rest of the world.
+Keep in mind that on many keyboards, the key labelled "Alt" actually
+generates the "Meta" modifier. (On Sun keyboards, however, the key
+labelled "Alt" does indeed generate the "Alt" modifier, and the key
+labelled with a diamond generates the "Meta" modifier.)
+
+
+
+*** Mouse, Active Region
+------------------------
+
+The mouse internals in mouse.el have been rewritten. Hooks have been
+provided for easier customization of mouse behavior. For example, you
+can now easily specify an action to be invoked on single-click
+(i.e. down-up without appreciable motion), double-click, drag-up, etc.
+
+Some code from GNU Emacs has been ported over, generalizing some of
+the X-specific mouse stuff.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The function `set-mouse-position' accepts
+a window instead of a frame.
+
+New function `mouse-position' that obsoletes and is more powerful than
+`read-mouse-position'.
+
+New functions `mouse-pixel-positon' and `set-mouse-pixel-position' for
+working with pixels instead of characters.
+
+The active (Zmacs) region is now highlighted using the `zmacs-region-face'
+instead of the `primary-selection-face'; this generalizes what used
+to be X-specific.
+
+New functions `region-active-p', `region-exists-p', and `activate-region'
+provide a uniform API for dealing with the region irrespective of
+whether the variable `zmacs-regions' is set.
+
+XEmacs is now a better X citizen with respect to the primary selection:
+it does not stomp on the primary selection quite so much. This makes
+things more manageable if you set `zmacs-regions' to nil.
+
+
+
+*** Processes
+-------------
+
+Various process race conditions and bugs have been fixed. Problems
+with process termination not getting noticed until much later (if at
+all) should be gone now, as well as problems with zombie processes
+under some systems.
+
+SOCKS support is now included. SOCKS is a package that allows hosts
+behind a firewall to gain full access to the Internet without
+requiring direct IP reachability.
+
+
+
+*** Windows
+-----------
+
+Windows 95 is still not out yet.
+
+*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE **: The functions `locate-window-from-coordinates'
+and `window-edges' have been eliminated. It no longer makes sense to
+work with windows in terms of character positions, because windows can
+(and often do) have many differently-sized fonts in them, because the
+3-D modeline is not exactly one line high, etc.
+
+The new functions `window-pixel-edges', `window-highest-p',
+`window-lowest-p', `frame-highest-window', and `frame-lowest-window'
+are provided as substitutes for the above-mentioned, deleted
+functions.
+
+The function `window-end' now takes an optional GUARANTEE argument
+that will ensure that the value is actually correct as of the next
+redisplay.
+
+The window code has been merged with GNU Emacs 19.28, providing
+improved functionality for many functions.
+
+
+
+*** System-Specific Information
+-------------------------------
+
+Georg Nikodym's dynodump package is provided, for proper unexec()ing
+on Solaris systems. Executables built on Solaris 2.3 can now run on
+Solaris 2.4 without crashing; similarly with executables built on one
+type of Sun machine and run on another.
+
+AIX 4.x is supported.
+
+The NeXTstep operating system is supported in TTY mode (this is still
+in beta). There are plans to port XEmacs to the NeXTstep window
+system, but it may be awhile before this is complete.
+
+Problems with the `round' function causing arithmetic errors on HPUX 9
+have been fixed.
+
+You can now build XEmacs as an ELF executable on Linux systems that
+support ELF.
+
+Various other new system configurations are supported.
+
+
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.10 and 19.11
+============================================
+
+The name has changed from "Lucid Emacs" to "XEmacs". Along with this is a
+new canonical ftp site: cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/xemacs.
+
+XEmacs now has its very own World Wide Web page! It contains a
+complete list of the FTP distribution sites, the most recent FAQ,
+pointers to Emacs Lisp packages not included with the distribution, and
+other useful stuff. Check it out at http://xemacs.cs.uiuc.edu/.
+
+A preliminary New Users Guide.
+
+cc-mode.el now provides the default C, C++ and Objective-C modes.
+
+The primary goal of this release is stability. Very few new features have
+been introduced but lots of bugs have been fixed. Many of the Emacs Lisp
+packages have been updated.
+
+Some of the new Emacs Lisp packages ---
+
+tcl-mode.el: major mode for editing TCL code
+
+fast-lock.el: saves and restores font-lock highlighting, greatly
+ reducing the time necessary for loading a font-lock'ed
+ file
+
+ps-print.el: prints buffers to Postscript printers preserving the
+ buffer's bold and italic text attributes
+
+toolbar.el: provides a "fake" toolbar for use with XEmacs (an
+ integrated one will be included with 19.12)
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.9 and 19.10
+===========================================
+
+The GNU `configure' system is now used to build lemacs.
+
+The Emacs Manual and Emacs Lisp Reference Manual now document version 19.10.
+If you notice any errors, please let us know.
+
+When pixmaps are displayed in a buffer, they contribute to the line height -
+that is, if the glyph is taller than the rest of the text on the line, the
+line will be as tall as necessary to display the glyph.
+
+In addition to using arbitrary sound files as emacs beeps, one can control
+the pitch and duration of the standard X beep, on X servers which allow that
+(Note: most don't.)
+
+There is support for playing sounds on systems with NetAudio servers.
+
+Minor modes may have mode-specific key bindings; keymaps may have an arbitrary
+number of parent maps.
+
+Menus can have toggle and radio buttons in them.
+
+There is a font selection menu.
+
+Some default key bindings have changed to match FSF19; the new bindings are
+
+ Screen-related commands:
+ C-x 5 2 make-screen
+ C-x 5 0 delete-screen
+ C-x 5 b switch-to-buffer-other-screen
+ C-x 5 f find-file-other-screen
+ C-x 5 C-f find-file-other-screen
+ C-x 5 m mail-other-screen
+ C-x 5 o other-screen
+ C-x 5 r find-file-read-only-other-screen
+ Abbrev-related commands:
+ C-x a l add-mode-abbrev
+ C-x a C-a add-mode-abbrev
+ C-x a g add-global-abbrev
+ C-x a + add-mode-abbrev
+ C-x a i g inverse-add-global-abbrev
+ C-x a i l inverse-add-mode-abbrev
+ C-x a - inverse-add-global-abbrev
+ C-x a e expand-abbrev
+ C-x a ' expand-abbrev
+ Register-related commands:
+ C-x r C-SPC point-to-register
+ C-x r SPC point-to-register
+ C-x r j jump-to-register
+ C-x r s copy-to-register
+ C-x r x copy-to-register
+ C-x r i insert-register
+ C-x r g insert-register
+ C-x r r copy-rectangle-to-register
+ C-x r c clear-rectangle
+ C-x r k kill-rectangle
+ C-x r y yank-rectangle
+ C-x r o open-rectangle
+ C-x r t string-rectangle
+ C-x r w window-configuration-to-register
+ Narrowing-related commands:
+ C-x n n narrow-to-region
+ C-x n w widen
+ Other changes:
+ C-x 3 split-window-horizontally (was undefined)
+ C-x - shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer
+ C-x + balance-windows
+
+The variable allow-deletion-of-last-visible-screen has been removed, since
+it was widely hated. You can now always delete the last visible screen if
+there are other iconified screens in existence.
+
+ToolTalk support is provided.
+
+An Emacs screen can be placed within an "external client widget" managed
+by another application. This allows an application to use an Emacs screen
+as its text pane rather than the standard Text widget that is provided
+with Motif or Athena.
+
+Additional compatibility with Epoch is provided (though this is not yet
+complete.)
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.8 and 19.9
+==========================================
+
+Scrollbars! If you have Motif, these are real Motif scrollbars; otherwise,
+Athena scrollbars are used. They obey all the usual resources of their
+respective toolkits.
+
+There is now an implementation of dialog boxes based on the Athena
+widgets, as well as the existing Motif implementation.
+
+This release works with Motif 1.2 as well as 1.1. If you link with Motif,
+you do not also need to link with Athena.
+
+If you compile lwlib with both USE_MOTIF and USE_LUCID defined (which is the
+recommended configuration) then the Lucid menus will draw text using the Motif
+string-drawing library, instead of the Xlib one. The reason for this is that
+one can take advantage of the XmString facilities for including non-Latin1
+characters in resource specifications. However, this is a user-visible change
+in that, in this configuration, the menubar will use the "*fontList" resource
+in preference to the "*font" resource, if it is set.
+
+It's possible to make extents which are copied/pasted by kill and undo.
+There is an implementation of FSF19-style text properties based on this.
+
+There is a new variable, minibuffer-max-depth, which is intended to circumvent
+a common source of confusion among new Emacs users. Since, under a window
+system, it's easy to jump out of the minibuffer (by doing M-x, then getting
+distracted, and clicking elsewhere) many, many novice users have had the
+problem of having multiple minibuffers build up, even to the point of
+exhausting the lisp stack. So the default behavior is to disallow the
+minibuffer to ever be reinvoked while active; if you attempt to do so, you
+will be prompted about it.
+
+There is a new variable, teach-extended-commands-p, which if set, will cause
+`M-x' to remind you of any key bindings of the command you just invoked the
+"long way."
+
+There are menus in Dired, Tar, Comint, Compile, and Grep modes.
+
+There is a menu of window management commands on the right mouse button over
+the modelines.
+
+Popup menus now have titles at the top; this is controlled by the new
+variable `popup-menu-titles'.
+
+The `Find' key on Sun keyboards will search for the next (or previous)
+occurrence of the selected text, as in OpenWindows programs.
+
+The `timer' package has been renamed to `itimer' to avoid a conflict with
+a different package called `timer'.
+
+VM 5.40 is included.
+
+W3, the emacs interface to the World Wide Web, is included.
+
+Felix Lee's GNUS speedups have been installed, including his new version of
+nntp.el which makes GNUS efficiently utilize the NNTP XOVER command if
+available (which is much faster.)
+
+GNUS should also be much friendlier to new users: it starts up much faster,
+and doesn't (necessarily) subscribe you to every single newsgroup.
+
+The byte-compiler issues a new class of warnings: variables which are
+bound but not used. This is merely an advisory, and does not mean the
+code is incorrect; you can disable these warnings in the usual way with
+the `byte-compiler-options' macro.
+
+the `start-open' and `end-open' extent properties, for specifying whether
+characters inserted exactly at a boundary of an extent should go into the
+extent or out of it, now work correctly.
+
+The `extent-data' slot has been generalized/replaced with a property list,
+so it's easier to attach arbitrary data to extent objects.
+
+The `event-modifiers' and `event-modifier-bits' functions work on motion
+events as well as other mouse and keyboard events.
+
+Forms-mode uses fonts and read-only regions.
+
+The behavior of the -geometry command line option should be correct now.
+
+The `iconic' screen parameter works when passed to x-create-screen.
+
+The user's manual now documents Lucid Emacs 19.9.
+
+The relocating buffer allocator is turned on by default; this means that when
+buffers are killed, their storage will be returned to the operating system,
+and the size of the emacs process will shrink.
+
+CAVEAT: code which contains calls to certain `face' accessor functions will
+need to be recompiled by version 19.9 before it will work. The functions
+whose callers must be recompiled are: face-font, face-foreground,
+face-background, face-background-pixmap, and face-underline-p. The symptom
+of this problem is the error "Wrong type argument, arrayp, #<face ... >".
+The .elc files generated by version 19.9 will work in 19.6 and 19.8, but
+older .elc files which contain calls to these functions will not work in 19.9.
+
+Work In Progress:
+
+ - We have been in the process of internationalizing Lucid Emacs. This code is
+ ***not*** ready for general use yet. However, the code is included (and
+ turned off by default) in this release.
+
+ - If you define I18N2 at compile-time, then sorting/collation will be done
+ according to the locale returned by setlocale().
+
+ - If you define I18N3 at compile-time, then all messages printed by lemacs
+ will be filtered through the gettext() library routine, to enable the use
+ of locale-specific translation catalogues. The current implementation of
+ this is quite dependent on Solaris 2, and has a very large impact on
+ existing code, therefore we are going to be making major changes soon.
+ (You'll notice calls to `gettext' and `GETTEXT' scattered around much of
+ the lisp and C code; ignore it, this will be going away.)
+
+ - If you define I18N4 at compile-time, then lemacs will internally use a
+ wide representation of characters, enabling the use of large character
+ sets such as Kanji. This code is very OS dependent: it requires X11R5,
+ and several OS-supplied library routines for reading and writing wide
+ characters (getwc(), putwc(), and a few others.) Performance is also a
+ problem. This code is also scheduled for a major overhaul, with the
+ intent of improving performance and portability.
+
+ Our eventual goal is to merge with MULE, or at least provide the same base
+ level of functionality. If you would like to help out with this, let us
+ know.
+
+ - Other work-in-progress includes Motif drag-and-drop support, ToolTalk
+ support, and support for embedding an Emacs widget inside another
+ application (where it can function as that other application's text-entry
+ area). This code has not been extensively tested, and may (or may not)
+ have portability problems, but it's there for the adventurous. Comments,
+ suggestions, bug reports, and especially fixes are welcome. But have no
+ expectations that this experimental code will work at all.
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.6 and 19.8
+==========================================
+
+There were almost no differences between versions 19.6 and 19.7; version 19.7
+was a bug-fix release that was distributed with Energize 2.1.
+
+Lucid Emacs 19.8 represents the first stage of the Lucid Emacs/Epoch merger.
+The redisplay engine now in lemacs is an improved descendant of the Epoch
+redisplay. As a result, many bugs have been eliminated, and several disabled
+features have been re-enabled. Notably:
+
+Selective display (and outline-mode) work.
+
+Horizontally split windows work.
+
+The height of a line is the height of the tallest font displayed on that line;
+it is possible for a screen to display lines of differing heights. (Previously,
+the height of all lines was the height of the tallest font loaded.)
+
+There is lisp code to scale fonts up and down, for example, to load the next-
+taller version of a font.
+
+There is a new internal representation for lisp objects, giving emacs-lisp 28
+bit integers and a 28 bit address space, up from the previous maximum of 26.
+We expect eventually to increase this to 30 bit integers and a 32 bit address
+space, eliminating the need for DATA_SEG_BITS on some architectures. (On 64
+bit machines, add 32 to all of these numbers.)
+
+GC performance is improved.
+
+Various X objects (fonts, colors, cursors, pixmaps) are accessible as first-
+class lisp objects, with finalization.
+
+An alternate interface to embedding images in the text is provided, called
+"annotations." You may create an "annotation margin" which is whitespace at
+the left side of the screen that contains only annotations, not buffer text.
+
+When using XPM files, one can specify the values of logical color names to be
+used when loading the files.
+
+It is possible to resize windows by dragging their modelines up and down. More
+generally, it is possible to add bindings for mouse gestures on the modelines.
+
+There is support for playing sound files on HP machines.
+
+ILISP version 5.5 is included.
+
+The Common Lisp #' read syntax is supported (#' is to "function" as ' is to
+"quote".)
+
+The `active-p' slot of menu items is now evaluated, so one can put arbitrary
+lisp code in a menu to decide whether that item should be selectable, rather
+than doing this with an `activate-menubar-hook'.
+
+The X resource hierarchy has changed slightly, to be more consistent. It used
+to be
+ argv[0] SCREEN-NAME pane screen
+ ApplicationShell EmacsShell Paned EmacsFrame
+
+ now it is
+
+ argv[0] shell pane SCREEN-NAME
+ ApplicationShell EmacsShell Paned EmacsFrame
+
+The Lucid Emacs sources have been largely merged with FSF version 19; this
+means that the lisp library contains the most recent releases of various
+packages, and many new features of FSF 19 have been incorporated.
+
+Because of this, the lemacs sources should also be substantially more portable.
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.4 and 19.6
+==========================================
+
+There were almost no differences between versions 19.4 and 19.5; we fixed
+a few minor bugs and repacked 19.4 as 19.5 for a CD-ROM that we gave away
+as a trade show promotion.
+
+The primary goal of the 19.6 release is stability, rather than improved
+functionality, so there aren't many user-visible changes. The most notable
+changes are:
+
+ - The -geometry command-line option now correctly overrides geometry
+ specifications in the resource database.
+ - The `width' and `height' screen-parameters work.
+ - Font-lock-mode considers the comment start and end characters to be
+ a part of the comment.
+ - The lhilit package has been removed. Use font-lock-mode instead.
+ - vm-isearch has been fixed to work with isearch-mode.
+ - new versions of ispell and calendar.
+ - sccs.el has menus.
+
+Lots of bugs were fixed, including the problem that lemacs occasionally
+grabbed the keyboard focus.
+
+Also, as of Lucid Emacs 19.6 and Energize 2.0 (shipping now) it is possible
+to compile the public release of Lucid Emacs with support for Energize; so
+now Energize users will be able to build their own Energize-aware versions
+of lemacs, and will be able to use newer versions of lemacs as they are
+released to the net. (Of course, this is not behavior covered by your
+Energize support contract; you do it at your own risk.)
+
+I have not incorporated all portability patches that I have been sent since
+19.4; I will try to get to them soon. However, if you need to make any
+changes to lemacs to get it to compile on your system, it would be quite
+helpful if you would send me context diffs (diff -c) against version 19.6.
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.3 and 19.4
+==========================================
+
+Prototypes have been added for all functions. Emacs compiles in the strict
+ANSI modes of lcc and gcc, so portability should be vastly improved.
+
+Many many many many core leaks have been plugged, especially in screen
+creation and deletion.
+
+The float support reworked to be more portable and ANSI conformant. This
+resulted in these new configuration parameters: HAVE_INVERSE_HYPERBOLIC,
+HAVE_CBRT, HAVE_RINT, FLOAT_CHECK_ERRNO, FLOAT_CATCH_SIGILL,
+FLOAT_CHECK_DOMAIN. Let us know if you had to change the defaults on your
+architecture.
+
+The SunOS unexec has been rewritten, and now works with either static or
+dynamic libraries, depending on whether -Bstatic or -Bdynamic were specified
+at link-time.
+
+Small (character-sized) bitmaps can be mixed in with buffer text via the new
+functions set-extent-begin-glyph and set-extent-end-glyph. (This is actually
+a piece of functionality that Energize has been using for a while, but we've
+just gotten around to making it possible to use it without Energize. See how
+nice we are? Go buy our product.)
+
+If compiled with Motif support, one can pop up dialog boxes from emacs lisp.
+We encourage someone to contribute Athena an version of this code; it
+shouldn't be much work.
+
+If dialog boxes are available, then y-or-n-p and yes-or-no-p use dialog boxes
+instead of the minibuffer if invoked as a result of a command that was
+executed from a menu instead of from the keyboard.
+
+Multiple screen support works better; check out doc of get-screen-for-buffer.
+
+The default binding of backspace is the same as delete. (C-h is still help.)
+
+A middle click while the minibuffer is active does completion if you click on
+a highlighted completion, otherwise it executes the global binding of button2.
+
+New versions of Barry Warsaw's c++-mode and syntax.c. Font-lock-mode works
+with C++ mode now.
+
+The semantics of activate-menubar-hook has changed; the functions are called
+with no arguments now.
+
+`truename' no longer hacks the automounter; use directory-abbrev-alist instead.
+
+Most minibuffer handling has been reimplemented in emacs-lisp.
+
+There is now a builtin minibuffer history mechanism which replaces gmhist.
+
+
+** Major Differences Between 19.2 and 19.3
+==========================================
+
+The ISO characters have correct case and syntax tables now, so the word-motion
+and case-converting commands work sensibly on them.
+
+If you set ctl-arrow to an integer, you can control exactly which characters
+are printable. (There will be a less crufty way to do this eventually.)
+
+Menubars can now be buffer local; the function set-screen-menubar no longer
+exists. Look at GNUS and VM for examples of how to do this, or read
+menubar.el.
+
+When emacs is reading from the minibuffer with completions, any completions
+which are visible on the screen will highlight when the mouse moves over them;
+clicking middle on a completion is the same as typing it at the minibuffer.
+Some implications of this: The *Completions* buffer is always mousable. If
+you're using the completion feature of find-tag, your source code will be
+mousable when you type M-. Dired buffers will be mousable as soon as you
+type ^X^F. And so on.
+
+The old isearch code has been replaced with a descendant of Dan LaLiberte's
+excellent isearch-mode; it is more customizable, and generally less bogus.
+You can search for "composed" characters. There are new commands, too; see
+the doc for ^S, or the NEWS file.
+
+A patched GNUS 3.14 is included.
+
+The user's manual now documents Lucid Emacs 19.3.
+
+A few more modes have mouse and menu support.
+
+The startup code should be a little more robust, and give you more reasonable
+error messages when things aren't installed quite right (instead of the
+ubiquitous "cannot open DISPLAY"...)
+
+Subdirectories of the lisp directory whose names begin with a hyphen or dot
+are not automatically added to the load-path, so you can use this to avoid
+accidentally inflicting experimental software on your users.
+
+I've tried to incorporate all of the portability patches that were sent to
+me; I tried to solve some of the problems in different ways than the
+patches did, so let me know if I missed something.
+
+Some systems will need to define NEED_STRDUP, NEED_REALPATH, HAVE_DREM, or
+HAVE_REMAINDER in config.h. Really this should be done in the appropriate
+s- or m- files, but I don't know which systems need these and which don't.
+If yours does, let me know which file it should be in.
+
+Check out these new packages:
+
+blink-paren.el: causes the matching parenthesis to flash on and off whenever
+ the cursor is sitting on a paren-syntax character.
+
+pending-del.el: Certain commands implicitly delete the highlighted region:
+ Typing a character when there is a highlighted region replaces
+ that region with the typed character.
+
+font-lock.el: A code-highlighting package, driven off of syntax tables, so
+ that it understands block comments, strings, etc. The
+ insertion hook is used to fontify text as you type it in.
+
+shell-font.el: Displays your shell-buffer prompt in boldface.
