-3.10: Text Selections
-=====================
-
-Q3.10.1: How can I turn off or change highlighted selections?
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The `zmacs' mode allows for what some might call gratuitous
-highlighting for selected regions (either by setting mark or by using
-the mouse). This is the default behavior. To turn off, add the
-following line to your `.emacs' file:
-
- (setq zmacs-regions nil)
-
- Starting with XEmacs-20.2 you can also change this with Customize.
-Select from the `Options' menu `Customize->Emacs->Editing->Basics->Zmacs
-Regions' or type `M-x customize <RET> editing-basics <RET>'.
-
- To change the face for selection, look at `Options->Customize' on
-the menubar.

-
-Q3.10.2: How do I get that typing on an active region removes it?
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I want to change things so that if I select some text and start
-typing, the typed text replaces the selected text, similar to Motif.
-
- You want to use something called "pending delete". Pending delete
-is what happens when you select a region (with the mouse or keyboard)
-and you press a key to replace the selected region by the key you typed.
-Usually backspace kills the selected region.
-
- To get this behavior, add the following line to your `.emacs':
-
- (turn-on-pending-delete)
-
- Note that this will work with both Backspace and Delete.

-Q3.10.3: Can I turn off the highlight during isearch?
------------------------------------------------------
-
- I do not like my text highlighted while I am doing isearch as I am
-not able to see what's underneath. How do I turn it off?
-
- Put the following in your `.emacs':
-
- (setq isearch-highlight nil)
-
- Starting with XEmacs-20.2 you can also change this with Customize.
-Type `M-x customize-variable <RET> isearch-highlight <RET>'.
-
- Note also that isearch-highlight affects query-replace and ispell.
-Instead of disabling isearch-highlight you may find that a better
-solution consists of customizing the `isearch' face.

-Q3.10.5: The region disappears when I hit the end of buffer while scrolling.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This has been fixed by default starting with XEmacs-20.3.
-
- With older versions you can turn this feature (if it indeed is a
-feature) off like this:
-
- (defadvice scroll-up (around scroll-up freeze)
- (interactive "_P")
- (let ((zmacs-region-stays t))
- (if (interactive-p)
- (condition-case nil
- ad-do-it
- (end-of-buffer (goto-char (point-max))))
- ad-do-it)))
-
- (defadvice scroll-down (around scroll-down freeze)
- (interactive "_P")
- (let ((zmacs-region-stays t))
- (if (interactive-p)
- (condition-case nil
- ad-do-it
- (beginning-of-buffer (goto-char (point-min))))
- ad-do-it)))

-4.0: Reading Mail with VM
-=========================
-
-Q4.0.1: How do I set up VM to retrieve mail from a remote site using POP?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Use `vm-spool-files', like this for example:
-
- (setq vm-spool-files '("/var/spool/mail/wing"
- "netcom23.netcom.com:110:pass:wing:MYPASS"))
-
- Of course substitute your actual password for MYPASS.

-Q4.0.2: How do I get VM to filter mail for me?
-----------------------------------------------
-
- One possibility is to use procmail to split your mail before it gets
-to VM. I prefer this personally, since there are many strange and
-wonderful things one can do with procmail. Procmail may be found at
-`ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/'.

- There are several ways to do this.
-
- 1. Set your display to your home machine and run dxpc or one of
- the other X compressors.
-
- 2. NFS mount your desktop machine on your home machine and
- modify your pop command on your home machine to rsh to your

-
- 3. Run a POP server on your desktop machine as well and do a

- William Perry <wmperry@monolith.spry.com> adds:
-
- Or you could run a pop script periodically on your desktop

-Q4.0.9: rmail or VM gets an error incorporating new mail.
----------------------------------------------------------
-
- Quoting the XEmacs PROBLEMS file:
-
- rmail and VM get new mail from `/usr/spool/mail/$USER' using a
- program called `movemail'. This program interlocks with
- `/bin/mail' using the protocol defined by `/bin/mail'.
-
- There are two different protocols in general use. One of them
- uses the `flock' system call. The other involves creating a lock
- file; `movemail' must be able to write in `/usr/spool/mail' in
- order to do this. You control which one is used by defining, or
- not defining, the macro `MAIL_USE_FLOCK' in `config.h' or the m-
- or s- file it includes.
-
- *IF YOU DON'T USE THE FORM OF INTERLOCKING THAT IS NORMAL ON YOUR
- SYSTEM, YOU CAN LOSE MAIL!*
-
- If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist
- restrictions prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in
- `/usr/spool/mail', you may need to make `movemail' setgid to a
- suitable group such as `mail'. You can use these commands (as
- root):
-
- chgrp mail movemail
- chmod 2755 movemail
-
- If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist
- restrictions prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in
- `/usr/spool/mail', you may need to make `movemail' setgid to a
- suitable group such as `mail'. To do this, use the following
- commands (as root) after doing the make install.
-
- chgrp mail movemail
- chmod 2755 movemail
-
- Installation normally copies movemail from the build directory to
- an installation directory which is usually under `/usr/local/lib'.
- The installed copy of `movemail' is usually in the directory
- `/usr/local/lib/emacs/VERSION/TARGET'. You must change the group
- and mode of the installed copy; changing the group and mode of the
- build directory copy is ineffective.

- The meta-answer is to look into the file `vm-vars.el', in the vm
- directory of the lisp library.
-
- `vm-vars.el' contains, initializes and carefully describes, with
- examples of usage, the plethora of user options that *fully*
- control VM's behavior.
-
- Enter vm-vars, `forward-search' for toolbar, find the variables
- that control the toolbar placement, appearance, existence, copy to
- your `.emacs' or `.vm' and modify according to the detailed
- instructions.
-
- The above also applies to all the various features of VM: search
- for some keywords, maybe the first you conjure isn't appropriate,
- find the appropriate variables, copy and experiment.

-Q4.3.2: What is TM and where do I get it?
------------------------------------------
-
- TM stands for "Tools for MIME" and not Tiny MIME. TM integrates
-with all major XEmacs packages like Gnus (all flavors), VM, MH-E, and
-mailcrypt. It provides totally transparent and trouble-free MIME
-support. When appropriate a message will be decoded in place in an
-XEmacs buffer.
-
- TM now comes as a package with XEmacs 19.16 and XEmacs 20.2.
-
- TM was written by MORIOKA Tomohiko <morioka@jaist.ac.jp> and
-KOBAYASHI Shuhei <shuhei-k@jaist.ac.jp>.
-
- It is based on the work of UMEDA Masanobu
-<umerin@mse.kyutech.ac.jp>, the original writer of GNUS.
-
- The following information is from the `README':
-
- "tm" is a MIME package for GNU Emacs. tm has following functions:
-
- * MIME style multilingual header.
-
- * MIME message viewer (mime/viewer-mode).
-
- * MIME message composer (mime/editor-mode).
-
- * MIME extenders for mh-e, GNUS, RMAIL and VM.
-
- tm is available from following anonymous ftp sites:
- * `ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/mime/' (Japan).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.nis.co.jp/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/' (Japan).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.nisiq.net/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/' (US).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.miranova.com/pub/gnus/jaist.ac.jp/' (US).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/mail/mime/tm/' (Brasil).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/editors/GNU-Emacs/lisp/mime/'
- (Germany).
-
- * `ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/editors/xemacs/contrib/'
- (Germany).
-
- Don't let the installation procedure & instructions stop you from
-trying this package out--it's much simpler than it looks, and once
-installed, trivial to use.

-4.6: Infodock
-=============
-
-Q4.6.1: What is Infodock?
--------------------------
-
- InfoDock is an integrated productivity toolset, mainly aimed at
-technical people. It is developed and supported by InfoDock
-Associates, a firm that offers custom support and development for
-InfoDock, XEmacs and GNU Emacs. ( `http://www.infodock.com',
-<info@infodock.com>, +1 408 243 3300).
-
- InfoDock is built atop the XEmacs variant of GNU Emacs and so has
-all of the power of Emacs, but with an easier to use and more
-comprehensive menu-based user interface. The bottom portion of this
-text describes how it differs from XEmacs and GNU Emacs from the Free
-Software Foundation.
-
- InfoDock is aimed at people who want a free, turn-key productivity
-environment. Although InfoDock is customizable, it is not intended for
-people who like basic versions of Emacs which need to be customized
-extensively for local use; standard Emacs distributions are better for
-such uses. InfoDock is for those people who want a complete,
-pre-customized environment in one package, which they need not touch
-more than once or twice a year to update to new revisions.
-
- InfoDock is pre-built for SPARC SunOS/Solaris systems, PA-RISC HP-UX,
-and Intel Linux systems. It is intended for use on a color display,
-although most features will work on monochrome monitors. Simply unpack
-InfoDock according to the instructions in the ID-INSTALL file and you
-are ready to run.
-
- The InfoDock Manual is concise, yet sufficient as a user guide for
-users who have never used an Emacs-type editor before. For users who
-are already familiar with Emacs, it supplements the information in the
-GNU Emacs Manual.
-
- InfoDock menus are much more extensive and more mature than standard
-Emacs menus. Each menu offers a `Manual' item which displays
-documentation associated with the menu's functions.
-
-Four types of menubars are provided:
- 1. An extensive menubar providing access to global InfoDock commands.
-
- 2. Mode-specific menubars tailored to the current major mode.
-
- 3. A simple menubar for basic editing to help novices get started
- with InfoDock.
-
- 4. The standard XEmacs menubar.
-
- Most modes also include mode-specific popup menus. Additionally,
-region and rectangle popup menus are included.
-
- `Hyperbole', the everyday information manager, is a core part of
-InfoDock. This provides context-sensitive mouse keys, a rolodex-type
-contact manager, programmable hypertext buttons, and an autonumbered
-outliner with embedded hyperlink anchors.
-
- The `OO-Browser', a multi-language object-oriented code browser, is a
-standard part of InfoDock.
-
- InfoDock saves a more extensive set of user options than other Emacs
-versions.
-
- InfoDock inserts a useful file header in many file types, showing the
-author, summary, and last modification time of each file. A summary
-program can then be used to summarize all of the files in a directory,
-for easy MANIFEST file creation.
-
- Your working set of buffers is automatically saved and restored (if
-you answer yes to a prompt) between InfoDock sessions.
-
- Refined color choices for code highlighting are provided for both
-dark and light background display frames.
-
- The `C-z' key prefix performs frame-based commands which parallel the
-`C-x' key prefix for window-based commands.
-
- The Smart Menu system is included for producing command menus on dumb
-terminals.
-
- Lisp libraries are better categorized according to function.
-
- Extensions and improvements to many areas of Emacs are included,
-such as: paragraph filling, mail reading with Rmail, shell handling,
-outlining, code highlighting and browsing, and man page browsing.
-
- InfoDock questions, answers and discussion should go to the mail list
-<infodock@infodock.com>. Use <infodock-request@infodock.com> to be
-added or removed from the list. Always include your InfoDock version
-number when sending help requests.
-
- InfoDock is available across the Internet via anonymous FTP. To get
-it, first move to a directory into which you want the InfoDock archive
-files placed. We will call this <DIST-DIR>.
-
- cd <DIST-DIR>
-
- Ftp to ftp.xemacs.org (Internet Host ID = 128.174.252.16):
-
- prompt> ftp ftp.xemacs.org
-
- Login as `anonymous' with your own <user-id>@<site-name> as a
-password.
-
- Name (ftp.xemacs.org): anonymous
- 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
- Password: -<your-user-id>@<your-domain>
- 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
-
- Move to the location of the InfoDock archives:
-
- ftp> cd pub/infodock
-
- Set your transfer mode to binary:
-
- ftp> bin
- 200 Type set to I.
-
- Turn off prompting:
-
- ftp> prompt
- Interactive mode off.
-
- Retrieve the InfoDock archives that you want, either by using a `get
-<file>' for each file you want or by using the following to get a
-complete distribution, including all binaries:
-
- ftp> mget ID-INSTALL
- ftp> mget id-*
-
- Close the FTP connection:
-
- ftp> quit
- 221 Goodbye.
-
- Read the `ID-INSTALL' file which you just retrieved for step-by-step
-installation instructions.

-4.7: Other Unbundled Packages
-=============================
-
-Q4.7.1: What is AUC TeX? Where do you get it?
-----------------------------------------------
-
- AUC TeX is a package written by Per Abrahamsen <abraham@dina.kvl.dk>.
-Starting with XEmacs 19.16, AUC TeX is bundled with XEmacs. The
-following information is from the `README' and website.
-
- AUC TeX is an extensible package that supports writing and formatting
-TeX files for most variants of GNU Emacs. Many different macro packages
-are supported, including AMS TeX, LaTeX, and TeXinfo.
-
- The most recent version is always available by ftp at
-`ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/packages/auctex/auctex.tar.gz'.
-
- In case you don't have access to anonymous ftp, you can get it by an
-email request to <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>.
-
- WWW users may want to check out the AUC TeX page at
-`http://sunsite.auc.dk/auctex/'.

-Q4.7.4: Problems installing AUC TeX.
-------------------------------------
-
- Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof@math.ethz.ch> writes:
-
- AUC TeX works fine on both stock Emacs and XEmacs has been doing
- so for a very very long time. This is mostly due to the work of
- Per Abrahamsen <abraham@dina.kvl.dk> (clap clap) in particular his
- `easymenu' package. Which leads to what is probably the problem...
-
- Most problems with AUC TeX are one of two things:
-
- * The TeX-lisp-directory in `tex-site.el' and the makefile don't
- match.
-
- Fix: make sure you configure AUC TeX properly *before* installing.
-
- * You have an old version of easymenu.el in your path.
-
- Fix: use `locate-library' and remove old versions to make sure it

-
-Q4.7.5: Is there a reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs is
-usually one or more of the following:
-
- 1. The package has not been ported to XEmacs. This will typically
- happen when it uses GNU-Emacs-specific features, which make it
- fail under XEmacs.
-
- Porting a package to XEmacs can range from a trivial amount of
- change to a partial or full rewrite. Fortunately, the authors of
- modern packages usually choose to support both Emacsen themselves.
-
- 2. The package has been decided not to be appropriate for XEmacs. It
- may have an equivalent or better replacement within XEmacs, in
- which case the developers may choose not to burden themselves with
- supporting an additional package.
-
- Each package bundled with XEmacs means more work for the
- maintainers, whether they want it or not. If you are ready to
- take over the maintenance responsibilities for the package you
- port, be sure to say so - we will more likely include it.
-
- 3. The package simply hasn't been noted by the XEmacs development. If
- that's the case, the messages like yours are very useful for
- attracting our attention.
-
- 4. The package was noted by the developers, but they simply haven't
- yet gotten around to including/porting it. Wait for the next
- release or, even better, offer your help. It will be gladly
- accepted and appreciated.

-5.0: Major & Minor Modes
-========================
-
-Q5.0.1: How can I do source code highlighting using font-lock?
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- For most modes, font-lock is already set up and just needs to be
-turned on. This can be done by `M-x font-lock-mode', or by having
-XEmacs automatically start it by adding lines like:
-
- (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
- (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
-
- to your `.emacs'. See the file `etc/sample.emacs' for more examples.
-
- See also `Syntax Highlighting' from the `Options' menu. Remember to
-save options.
-
-\1f
-File: xemacs-faq.info, Node: Q5.0.2, Next: Q5.0.3, Prev: Q5.0.1, Up: Miscellaneous
-
-Q5.0.2: I do not like cc-mode. How do I use the old c-mode?
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Well, first off, consider if you really want to do this. cc-mode is
-much more powerful than the old c-mode. If you're having trouble
-getting your old offsets to work, try using `c-set-offset' instead.
-You might also consider using the package `cc-compat'.
-
- But, if you still insist, add the following lines to your `.emacs':
-
- (fmakunbound 'c-mode)
- (makunbound 'c-mode-map)
- (fmakunbound 'c++-mode)
- (makunbound 'c++-mode-map)
- (makunbound 'c-style-alist)
- (load-library "old-c-mode")
- (load-library "old-c++-mode")
-
- This must be done before any other reference is made to either
-c-mode or c++-mode.

-
-Q5.0.3: How do I get `More' Syntax Highlighting on by default?
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Use the following code in your `.emacs':
-
- (setq-default font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
-
- In versions of XEmacs prior to 19.14, you had to use a kludgy
-solution like this:
-
- (setq c-font-lock-keywords c-font-lock-keywords-2
- c++-font-lock-keywords c++-font-lock-keywords-2
- lisp-font-lock-keywords lisp-font-lock-keywords-2)
-
- It will work for C, C++ and Lisp.
-
- See also `Syntax Highlighting' from the `Options' menu. Remember to
-save options.

-
-Q5.0.4: How can I enable auto-indent?
--------------------------------------
-
- Put the following line in your `.emacs':
-
- (setq indent-line-function 'indent-relative-maybe)
-
- If you want to get fancy, try the `filladapt' package available
-standard with XEmacs. Put this into your `.emacs':
-
- (require 'filladapt)
- (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-filladapt-mode)
- ;;; and others ...
-
- You can customize filling and adaptive filling with Customize.
-Select from the `Options' menu
-`Customize->Emacs->->Editing->Fill->Fill...' or type `M-x customize
-<RET> fill <RET>'.
-
- Note that well-behaving text-lookalike modes will run
-`text-mode-hook' by default (e.g. that's what Message does). For the
-nasty ones, you'll have to provide the `add-hook's yourself.
-
- Please note that the `fa-extras' package is no longer useful.

-
-Q5.0.5: How can I get XEmacs to come up in text/auto-fill mode by default?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Try the following lisp in your `.emacs':
-
- (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
- (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
-
- *WARNING*: note that changing the value of `default-major-mode' from
-`fundamental-mode' can break a large amount of built-in code that
-expects newly created buffers to be in `fundamental-mode'. (Changing
-from `fundamental-mode' to `text-mode' might not wreak too much havoc,
-but changing to something more exotic like a lisp-mode would break many
-Emacs packages).
-
- Note that Emacs by default starts up in buffer `*scratch*' in
-`initial-major-mode', which defaults to `lisp-interaction-mode'. Thus
-adding the following form to your Emacs init file will cause the
-initial `*scratch*' buffer to be put into auto-fill'ed `text-mode':
-
- (setq initial-major-mode
- (lambda ()
- (text-mode)
- (turn-on-auto-fill)))
-
- Note that after your init file is loaded, if
-`inhibit-startup-message' is `nil' (the default) and the startup buffer
-is `*scratch*' then the startup message will be inserted into
-`*scratch*'; it will be removed after a timeout by erasing the entire
-`*scratch*' buffer. Keep in mind this default usage of `*scratch*' if
-you desire any prior manipulation of `*scratch*' from within your Emacs
-init file. In particular, anything you insert into `*scratch*' from
-your init file will be later erased. Also, if you change the mode of
-the `*scratch*' buffer, be sure that this will not interfere with
-possible later insertion of the startup message (e.g. if you put
-`*scratch*' into a nonstandard mode that has automatic font lock rules,
-then the startup message might get fontified in a strange foreign
-manner, e.g. as code in some programming language).

-Q5.0.6: How do I start up a second shell buffer?
-------------------------------------------------
-
- In the `*shell*' buffer:
-
- M-x rename-buffer <RET> *shell-1* <RET>
- M-x shell RET
-
- This will then start a second shell. The key is that no buffer named
-`*shell*' can exist. It might be preferable to use `M-x
-rename-uniquely' to rename the `*shell*' buffer instead of `M-x
-rename-buffer'.
-
- Alternately, you can set the variable `shell-multiple-shells'. If
-the value of this variable is non-nil, each time shell mode is invoked,
-a new shell is made

-Q5.0.7: Telnet from shell filters too much
-------------------------------------------
-
- I'm using the Emacs `M-x shell' function, and I would like to invoke
-and use a telnet session within it. Everything works fine except that
-now all `^M''s are filtered out by Emacs. Fixes?
-
- Use `M-x rsh' or `M-x telnet' to open remote sessions rather than
-doing rsh or telnet within the local shell buffer. Starting with
-XEmacs-20.3 you can also use `M-x ssh' to open secure remote session if
-you have `ssh' installed.

-----------------------------------------
-
- We don't know, but you can use tpu-edt emulation instead, which works
-fine and is a little fancier than the standard edt emulation. To do
-this, add the following line to your `.emacs':
-
- (tpu-edt)
-
- If you don't want it to replace `C-h' with an edt-style help menu
-add this as well:
-
- (global-set-key [(control h)] 'help-for-help)

- (viper-mode)

-----------------------------------------
-
- Filladapt 2.x is included in 19.15. In it filladapt is now a minor
-mode and minor modes are traditionally off by default. The following
-added to your `.emacs' will turn it on for all buffers:
-
- (setq-default filladapt-mode t)
-
- Use `turn-on-filladapt-mode' to turn Filladapt on in particular

-Q5.0.12: How do I disable gnuserv from opening a new frame?
------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you set the `gnuserv-frame' variable to the frame that should be
-used to display buffers that are pulled up, a new frame will not be
-created. For example, you could put
-
- (setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))
-
- early on in your `.emacs', to ensure that the first frame created is
-the one used for your gnuserv buffers.

- Starting in 19.15, there is an option to set the gnuserv target to
-the current frame. See `Options->"Other Window" Location->Make current
-frame gnuserv target'
-
- Starting with XEmacs-20.3 you can also change this with Customize.
-Select from the `Options' menu
-`Customize->Emacs->Environment->Gnuserv->Gnuserv Frame...' or type `M-x
-customize <RET> gnuserv <RET>'.

-Q5.0.13: How do I start gnuserv so that each subsequent XEmacs is a client?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Put the following in your `.emacs' file to start the server:
-
- (gnuserv-start)
-
- Start your first XEmacs as usual. After that, you can do:
-
- gnuclient randomfilename
-
- from the command line to get your existing XEmacs process to open a
-new frame and visit randomfilename in that window. When you're done
-editing randomfilename, hit `C-x #' to kill the buffer and get rid of
-the frame.
-
- See also man page of gnuclient.

-Q5.0.14: Strange things are happening in Shell Mode.
-----------------------------------------------------
-
- Sometimes (i.e. it's not repeatable, and I can't work out why it
-happens) when I'm typing into shell mode, I hit return and only a
-portion of the command is given to the shell, and a blank prompt is
-returned. If I hit return again, the rest of the previous command is
-given to the shell.

- There is a known problem with interaction between `csh' and the
- `filec' option and XEmacs. You should add the following to your
- `.cshrc':
-
- if ( "$TERM" == emacs || "$TERM" == unknown ) unset filec

-Q5.0.16: I find auto-show-mode disconcerting. How do I turn it off?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- `auto-show-mode' controls whether or not a horizontal scrollbar
-magically appears when a line is too long to be displayed. This is
-enabled by default. To turn it off, put the following in your `.emacs':
-
- (setq auto-show-mode nil)
- (setq-default auto-show-mode nil)

-Q5.0.17: How can I get two instances of info?
----------------------------------------------
-
- You can't. The `info' package does not provide for multiple info

- It turns out I was using an older version of gnuserv. The
- installation didn't put the binary into the public bin directory.
- It put it in `lib/xemacs-19.14/hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.05/gnuserv'.
- Shouldn't it have been put in `bin/hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.0'?

- The standard TeX modes leave much to be desired, and are somewhat
- leniently maintained. Serious TeX users use AUC TeX (*note
