+ *****************************************
+ ***** To update the menus and nodes *****
+ *****************************************
+
+First, the first argument to @node (the name itself) needs to be correct.
+Use a macro if necessary to update the @node names from the
+@unnumberedsubsec commands.  Also note that the command we're about to
+run will not correctly fix up the part of the menu to the right of a ::.
+It will leave existing text in place but not change anything.  If you
+make a lot of changes and want to update this semi-automatically, use
+M-x occur to pick out all @unnumberedsubsec lines then do some editing
+magic to coerce them into the right format and cut and paste as necessary:
+
+1. M-x occur @unnumberedsubsec
+2. <select a rectangle including all text before the Q#.#.#>
+3. C-x r t *<space>
+4. go to the top and use the following macro to get the indentation right.
+ 
+(setq last-kbd-macro (read-kbd-macro
+"C-s : RET : <right> M-x indent- to- column RET 14 RET <home> <down>"))
+
+5. Cut and paste the menus into the detailmenu at the top and
+   individual menus at the top of the appropriate chapters. (#### I
+   wonder, does texinfo-master-menu generate the detailmenu from the
+   individual menus or vice-versa or neither?)
+
+Then,
+
+6. C-u C-c C-u m (C-u M-x texinfo-master-menu) will update the menus
+   and nodes.  However, it appears that even though it tries to
+   preserve the existing menu structure as much as possible, it
+   doesn't do a perfect job.  It messes up in at least two ways: The
+   indentation in the part of the main menu above the detailmenu will
+   be screwed up, and the #.0 titles will be removed from both the
+   detailmenu and the individual chapter menus.  In addition,
+   sometimes random things get screwed up in individual parts of the
+   menus.  Therefore:
+
+   1. Use the Lisp line below to get the spacing correct for the Q#.#.#
+   menu entries.
+
+(set (make-local-variable 'texinfo-column-for-description) 14)
+
+   2. Copy the whole detailmenu beforehand.
+   3. Run C-u C-c C-u m to fix up the nodes.
+   4. Run `fix-main-menu' and `fix-omitted-menu-lines'.
+   5. Check the new detailmenu carefully to see if anything is screwed up
+      compared to the old detailmenu you copied.
+   6. If so, paste back the appropriate sections and fix up the corresponding
+      part of the chapter-specific menu.
+
+(defun fix-main-menu ()
+  (interactive)
+  (save-restriction
+    (let (p q)
+      (goto-char (point-min))
+      (re-search-forward "^@menu")
+      (setq p (match-beginning 0))
+      (re-search-forward "^$")
+      (setq q (match-end 0))
+      (narrow-to-region p q)
+      (goto-char p)
+      (while (search-forward "::  " nil t)
+        (indent-to-column 26)))))
+
+(defun fix-omitted-menu-lines ()
+  (interactive)
+  (save-excursion
+    (loop for x from 1 to 10 do
+      (goto-char (point-min))
+      (re-search-forward (format "@unnumberedsec \\(%d.0: .*\\)" x))
+      (let ((line (match-string 1)))
+	(re-search-backward "^@menu")
+	(forward-line 1)
+	(unless (looking-at "[0-9]+.0:")
+	  (insert line)
+	  (insert "\n"))
+	(goto-char (point-min))

+
+When you've rearranged and renumbered a bunch of nodes, you can get
+the numbers agreeing again.  The macro below assumes that the
+unnumberedsubsec number is correct, and fixes up the node to agree.
+Only the first part of the node is fixed and the other parts may still
+be wrong; but they will be fixed as part of
+@code{texinfo-master-menu}.

 @unnumberedsubsec Q1.0.1: What is XEmacs?
 
-
-An alternative to GNU Emacs, originally based on an early alpha version
-of FSF's version 19, and has diverged quite a bit since then.  XEmacs
-was known as Lucid Emacs through version 19.10.  Almost all features of
-GNU Emacs are supported in XEmacs.  The maintainers of XEmacs actively
-track changes to GNU Emacs while also working to add new features.
+XEmacs is a powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and
+application development system, with full GUI support.  It is
+protected under the GNU Public License and related to other versions
+of Emacs, in particular GNU Emacs.  Its emphasis is on modern
+graphical user interface support and an open software development
+model, similar to Linux.  XEmacs has an active development community
+numbering in the hundreds (and thousands of active beta testers on top
+of this), and runs on all versions of MS Windows, on Mac OS X, on
+Linux, and on nearly every other version of Unix in existence.
+Support for XEmacs has been supplied by Sun Microsystems, University
+of Illinois, Lucid, ETL/Electrotechnical Laboratory, Amdahl
+Corporation, BeOpen, and others, as well as the unpaid time of a great
+number of individual developers.

-It looks nicer.
+XEmacs is the result of the time and effort of many people, and the
+active developers have changed over time.  There are two major
+components of the XEmacs effort -- writing the code itself and providing
+all the support work (testing the code, releasing beta and final
+versions, handling patches, reading bug reports, maintaining the web
+site, managing the mailing lists, etc. etc.).  Neither component would
+work without the other.
 
-@item
-The XEmacs maintainers are generally more receptive to suggestions than
-the GNU Emacs maintainers.
+@subheading CODING
 
-@item
-Many more bundled packages than GNU Emacs
+The primary code contributor over the years has been Ben Wing (active
+since late 1992).  Between 1991 and 1995, large amounts of coding was
+contributed by Jamie Zawinski and Chuck Thompson.  Many other people
+have authored major subsystems or otherwise contributed large amounts of
+code, including Andy Piper, Hrvoje Niksic, Jerry James, Jonathan Harris,
+Kyle Jones, Martin Buchholz, Michael Sperber, Olivier Galibert, Richard
+Mlynarik, Stig, William Perry and plenty of others.

-@unnumberedsubsec Q1.3.1: What is the status of XEmacs v20?
+@unnumberedsec 1.1: Getting XEmacs
 
-XEmacs v20 is the version of XEmacs that includes MULE (Asian-language)
-support.  XEmacs 20.0 was released in February 1997, followed by XEmacs
-20.2 in May, XEmacs 20.3 in November and XEmacs 20.4 in February 1998.  When compiled without MULE
-support, 20.4 is approximately as stable as 19.16, and probably faster
-(due to additional optimization work.)
+@node Q1.1.1, Q1.1.2, Q1.0.6, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.1: Where can I find XEmacs?
 
-As of XEmacs 20.3, version 20 is @emph{the} supported version of
-XEmacs.  This means that 19.16 will optionally receive stability fixes
-(if any), but that all the real development work will be done on the v20
-tree.
+To download XEmacs, visit the XEmacs WWW page at
+@uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Download/}.  The most up-to-date list of
+distribution sites can always be found there.  Try to pick a site that
+is networkologically close to you.  If you know of other mirrors of
+the XEmacs archives, please send e-mail to
+@uref{mailto:webmaster@@xemacs.org} and we will list them here as well.
 
-The incompatible changes in XEmacs 20 include the additional byte-codes,
-new primitive data types (@code{character}, @code{char-table}, and
-@code{range-table}).  This means that the character-integer equivalence
-inherent to all the previous Emacs and XEmacs releases no longer
-applies.
+The canonical distribution point is ftp.xemacs.org, available either
+through HTTP (@uref{http://ftp.xemacs.org/}) or anonymous FTP
+(@uref{ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/}).
 
-However, to avoid breaking old code, many functions that should normally
-accept characters work with integers, and vice versa.  For more
-information, see the Lisp reference manual.  Here is a relevant excerpt,
-for your convenience.
+@node Q1.1.2, Q1.1.3, Q1.1.1, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.1.2: Are binaries available?
 
-@quotation
-  In XEmacs version 19, and in all versions of FSF GNU Emacs, a
-@dfn{character} in XEmacs Lisp is nothing more than an integer.
-This is yet another holdover from XEmacs Lisp's derivation from
-vintage-1980 Lisps; modern versions of Lisp consider this equivalence
-a bad idea, and have separate character types.  In XEmacs version 20,
-the modern convention is followed, and characters are their own
-primitive types. (This change was necessary in order for @sc{mule},
-i.e. Asian-language, support to be correctly implemented.)
-
-  Even in XEmacs version 20, remnants of the equivalence between
-characters and integers still exist; this is termed the @dfn{char-int
-confoundance disease}.  In particular, many functions such as @code{eq},
-@code{equal}, and @code{memq} have equivalent functions (@code{old-eq},
-@code{old-equal}, @code{old-memq}, etc.) that pretend like characters
-are integers are the same.  Byte code compiled under any version 19
-Emacs will have all such functions mapped to their @code{old-} equivalents
-when the byte code is read into XEmacs 20.  This is to preserve
-compatibility---Emacs 19 converts all constant characters to the equivalent
-integer during byte-compilation, and thus there is no other way to preserve
-byte-code compatibility even if the code has specifically been written
-with the distinction between characters and integers in mind.
-
-  Every character has an equivalent integer, called the @dfn{character
-code}.  For example, the character @kbd{A} is represented as the
-@w{integer 65}, following the standard @sc{ascii} representation of
-characters.  If XEmacs was not compiled with @sc{mule} support, the
-range of this integer will always be 0 to 255---eight bits, or one
-byte. (Integers outside this range are accepted but silently truncated;
-however, you should most decidedly @emph{not} rely on this, because it
-will not work under XEmacs with @sc{mule} support.)  When @sc{mule}
-support is present, the range of character codes is much
-larger. (Currently, 19 bits are used.)
-
-  FSF GNU Emacs uses kludgy character codes above 255 to represent
-keyboard input of @sc{ascii} characters in combination with certain
-modifiers.  XEmacs does not use this (a more general mechanism is
-used that does not distinguish between @sc{ascii} keys and other
-keys), so you will never find character codes above 255 in a
-non-@sc{mule} XEmacs.
-
-  Individual characters are not often used in programs.  It is far more
-common to work with @emph{strings}, which are sequences composed of
-characters.

-Original Mule supports the following input methods: Wnn4, Wnn6, Canna, SJ3

+For problems with particular machines and versions of Unix, see the

-Wnn supports Japanese, Chinese and Korean. It is made by OMRON and Kyôto
-university. It is a powerful and complex system.  Wnn4 is free and Wnn6
-is not free.
+Much effort has gone into making XEmacs work on as many different
+machines, configurations, and compilers as possible.
 
-Canna supports only Japanese. It is made by NEC. It is a simple and
-powerful system. Canna uses only grammar (Wnn uses grammar and
-probability between words), so I think Wnn is cleverer than Canna,
-however Canna users made a good grammar and dictionary.  So for standard
-modern Japanese, Canna seems cleverer than Wnn4. In addition, the UNIX
-version of Canna is free (now there is a Microsoft Windows version).
+Much effort has gone into making XEmacs 64-bit clean.
 
-SJ3 supports only Japanese. It is made by Sony.  XIM supports was made
-to use ATOK (a major input method in personal computer world).  XIM is
-the standard for accessing input methods bundled in Japanese versions of
-Solaris.  (XEmacs 20 will support XIM input).

+sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 (gcc)
+@end example
+
+Some systems have a dual mode 32-bit/64-bit compiler.  On most of these,
+XEmacs requires the @samp{--pdump} (in XEmacs 21.5,
+@samp{--enable-pdump}) configure option to build correctly with the
+64-bit version of the compiler.
+
+@example
+mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="gcc -mabi=64"

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.3: Is there a port of XEmacs to Microsoft Windows?
+
+Yes.  Beginning with release 21.0, XEmacs has worked under MS Windows
+and is fully-featured and actively developed.  A group of dedicated
+developers actively maintains and improves the Windows-specific
+portions of the code.  Some of the core developers, in fact, use
+Windows as their only development environment, and some features, such
+as printing, actually work better on Windows than native Unix and Mac
+OS X.  The mailing list at @email{xemacs-winnt@@xemacs.org} is dedicated
+to that effort (please use the -request address to
+subscribe). (Despite its name, XEmacs actually works on all versions
+of Windows.)
+
+The list name is misleading, as XEmacs supports and has been compiled on
+Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows
+XP, and all newer versions of Windows.  The MS Windows-specific code is
+based on Microsoft Win32 API, and will not work on MS Windows 3.x or on
+MS-DOS.
+
+XEmacs also supports the Cygwin and MinGW development and runtime
+environments, where it also uses native Windows code for graphical
+features.  In addition, under Cygwin it is possible to compile XEmacs
+to use an X server (and XFree86 is available as part of the standard

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.2.5: What are Cygwin and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?
+
+To answer the second part of the question: No, you, you don't need
+Cygwin or MinGW to build or to run XEmacs.  But if you have them and
+want to use them, XEmacs supports these environments.
+
+(One important reason to support Cygwin is that it lets the MS Windows
+developers test out their code in a Unix environment without actually
+having to have a Unix machine around.  For this reason alone, Cygwin
+support is likely to remain supported for a long time in XEmacs.  Same
+goes for the X support under Cygwin, for the same reasons.  MinGW
+support, on the other hand, depends on volunteers to keep it up to date;
+but this is generally not hard.)
+
+Cygwin is a set of tools providing Unix-like API on top of Win32.
+It makes it easy to port large Unix programs without significant
+changes to their source code.  It is a development environment as well
+as a runtime environment.
+
+When built with Cygwin, XEmacs supports all display types -- TTY, X &
+Win32 GUI, and can be built with support for all three simultaneously.
+If you build with Win32 GUI support then the Cygwin version uses the
+majority of the Windows-specific code, which is mostly related to
+display.  If you want to build with X support you need X libraries (and
+an X server to display XEmacs on); see @ref{Q2.3.7}.  TTY and Win32 GUI
+require no additional libraries beyond what comes standard with Cygwin.
+
+The advantages of the Cygwin version are that it integrates well with
+the Cygwin environment for existing Cygwin users; uses configure so
+building with different features is very easy; and actively supports X &
+TTY.  Furthermore, the entire Cygwin environment and compiler are free,
+whereas Visual C++ costs money.
+
+The disadvantage is that it requires the whole Cygwin environment,
+whereas the native port requires only a suitable MS Windows compiler.
+Also, it follows the Unix filesystem and process model very closely
+(some will undoubtedly view this as an advantage).
+
+See @uref{http://www.cygwin.com/} for more information on
+Cygwin.
+
+MinGW is a collection of header files and import libraries that allow
+one to use GCC under the Cygwin environment to compile and produce
+exactly the same native Win32 programs that you can using Visual C++.
+Programs compiled with MinGW make use of the standard Microsoft runtime
+library @file{MSVCRT.DLL}, present on all Windows systems, and look,
+feel, and act like a standard Visual-C-produced application. (The only
+difference is the compiler.) This means that, unlike a
+standardly-compiled Cygwin application, no extra runtime support
+(e.g. Cygwin's @file{cygwin1.dll}) is required.  This, along with the
+fact that GCC is free (and works in a nice Unix-y way in a nice Unix-y
+environment, for those die-hard Unix hackers out there), is the main
+advantage of MinGW.  It is also potentially faster than Cygwin because
+it has less overhead when calling Windows, but you lose the POSIX
+emulation layer, which makes Unix programs harder to port. (But this is
+irrelevant for XEmacs since it's already ported to Win32.)
+
+See @uref{http://www.mingw.org/} for more information on MinGW.

+
+The XEmacs (and Emacs in general) user interface is pretty different
+from what is expected of a typical MS Windows program.  How does the MS
+Windows port cope with it?
+
+As a general rule, we follow native MS Windows conventions as much as
+possible.  21.4 is a fairly complete Windows application, supporting
+native printing, system file dialog boxes, tool tips, etc.  In cases
+where there's a clear UI conflict, we currently use normal Unix XEmacs
+behavior by default, but make sure the MS Windows "look and feel" (mark
+via shift-arrow, self-inserting deletes region, Alt selects menu items,
+etc.) is easily configurable (respectively: using the variable
+@code{shifted-motion-keys-select-region} in 21.4 and above [it's in fact
+the default in these versions], or the @file{pc-select} package; using
+the @file{pending-del} package; and setting the variable
+@code{menu-accelerator-enabled} to @code{menu-force} in 21.4 and above).
+In fact, if you use the sample @file{init.el} file as your init file,
+you will get all these behaviors automatically turned on.
+
+In future versions, some of these features might be turned on by
+default in the MS Windows environment.

+
+@table @samp
+
+@item comp.emacs.xemacs
+is a Usenet newsgroup
+for XEmacs users to discuss problems and issues that arise
+for them.  It's not generally an appropriate place to ask
+about apparent bugs (use @samp{xemacs-beta}), or future plans
+(use @samp{xemacs-design}).
+
+@item xemacs-announce
+is a read-only, low
+volume list for announcements concerning the XEmacs project
+and new releases of the XEmacs software.
+
+@item xemacs-beta
+is an open list for bug reports about beta versions of XEmacs.  This
+includes the bug reports themselves, by both users and developers, as
+well as queries, follow-ups, and discussions further determining their
+nature and status.  This is the primary channel for this kind of
+discussion; related code changes will usually not be applied until
+they have been discussed here.  When such discussions touch on
+significant changes to the code (in particular, structural changes),
+or on changes to API's or external functionality, they should be moved
+to @samp{xemacs-design}.  Requests and proposals for non-bug-related
+changes do not belong on @samp{xemacs-beta}, and should be sent to
+@samp{xemacs-design} instead.
+
+@item xemacs-beta-ja
+is an open list for bug
+reports and design discussion related to Mule features,
+including Japanese handling, in beta versions of XEmacs.
+Japanese is the preferred language of discussion.  For most
+timely presentation to reviewers, please consider sending
+appropriate discussion to @samp{xemacs-mule} or
+@samp{xemacs-design} in English when convenient for
+the participants in discussion.  When possible, bug reports
+not related to Mule (including Japanese) should be reported on
+@samp{xemacs-beta} in English.
+
+@item xemacs-buildreports
+is an open list for
+submission of build-reports on beta versions of XEmacs. For
+information on what the build-reports should contain, please
+see the `etc/BETA' file which is included in each beta
+distribution.
+
+@item xemacs-cvs
+is a read-only list for notices
+and information on what has been committed to the XEmacs CVS
+trees, by whom, and for what.
+
+@item xemacs-design
+is an open list for
+discussing the design of XEmacs.  This includes discussion
+about planned and ongoing changes to functionality and API
+changes and additions as well as requests for them.  This is
+the primary channel for this kind of discussion; related code
+changes will usually not be applied until they have been
+discussed here.  This does not include bug reports, which go
+to @samp{xemacs-beta}.
+
+@item xemacs-mule
+is an open mailing list for
+discussion of International extensions to XEmacs including
+Mule, XIM, I18n issues, etc, and is not confined to
+developmental issues. This list is not restricted to
+English, postings in all languages are welcome.
+
+@item xemacs-news
+is an open list for discussion
+and bug reporting for XEmacs.  This mailing list is
+bi-directionally gatewayed with the USENET newsgroup
+comp.emacs.xemacs.
+
+@item xemacs-nt
+is a developers-only mailing
+list and is intended for people who wish to work actively on
+the porting of XEmacs to Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft
+Windows '95.
+
+@item xemacs-patches
+is an open, moderated
+list for submission of patches to the XEmacs distribution
+and its packages. Anyone may subscribe or submit to

+moderator before they are distributed to the
+list. Discussion is not appropriate on xemacs-patches.

+is an open list for
+discussion and bug reporting for XEmacs.  Japanese is the
+preferred language of discussion.  It is not gated to
+comp.emacs.xemacs or the @samp{xemacs} list.  For
+fastest response, bugs not specifically related to Japanese
+or Mule features should be reported on
+@samp{xemacs-beta} (in English).

+@item User-Visible Editing Features
+XEmacs in general tries hard to conform to exist user-interface
+standards, and to work "out-of-the-box" without the need for obscure
+customization changes.  GNU Emacs, particularly version 21, has gotten
+better about this (in many cases by copying the XEmacs behavior!), but
+still has some weirdnesses.  For example, the standard method of
+selecting text using the Shift key works out-of-the-box in XEmacs.
+
+XEmacs has a built-in toolbar. Four toolbars can actually be configured
+simultaneously: top, bottom, left, and right toolbars.
+
+XEmacs has vertical and horizontal scrollbars. Unlike in GNU Emacs 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.)
+
+XEmacs has buffer tabs along the top of the frame (although the
+position can be changed) that make it very easy to switch buffers.
+
+The menubar under XEmacs is better-designed, with more thought put into
+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 under MS Windows provides uses the standard file-dialog box for
+opening and saving files.  Standard menu-accelerator behavior can easily
+be enabled using the Options menu, and integrates well into the existing
+keymap.
+
+XEmacs has (still experimental) support for widgets of various sorts --
+buttons, text boxes, sliders, progress bars, etc.  A progress bar is
+used in font lock to show the progress.
+
+Experimental support for drag-and-drop protocols is provided from
+XEmacs 21.
+
+@item General Platform Support
+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. XEmacs also supports the network sound protocols NAS and
+EsounD.
+
+XEmacs 21 supports database protocols with LISP bindings, currently
+including Berkeley DB, LDAP, and PostgreSQL (21.2 only).
+
+XEmacs 20 and 21 support the Canna, Wnn, and SJ3 Japanese input method
+servers directly, as well as through the X Input Method (XIM)
+protocol. GNU Emacs 20 supports only the XIM protocol. Both Emacsen
+support the Quail family of input methods (implemented in LISP) for many
+languages.
+
+XEmacs provides support for ToolTalk on systems that have
+it.
+
+@item Packaged LISP Libraries
+Many more packages are provided standard with XEmacs than with GNU Emacs
+19 or 20.
+
+XEmacs 21 supports an integrated package management system which uses
+EFS to download, then automatically install prebuilt LISP
+libraries. This allows XEmacs users much more straightforward access to
+the "latest and greatest" version of any given library.
+
+We are working on a standard method for enabling, disabling and
+otherwise controlling packages, which should make them very easy to use.
+
+@item LISP Programming
+From XEmacs 20 on, characters are a separate type. Characters can be
+converted to integers (and many integers can be converted to
+characters), but characters are not integers. GNU Emacs 19, XEmacs 19,
+Mule 2.3 (an extensive patch to GNU Emacs 18.55 and 19.x), and GNU Emacs
+20 (incorporating Mule 3 and later Mule 4) represent them as integers.
+
+From XEmacs 20 on, the buffer is treated as an array of characters, and
+the representation of buffer text is not exposed to LISP. The GNU Emacs
+20 functions like buffer-as-multibyte are not supported.
+
+In XEmacs, events are first-class objects. GNU Emacs 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. GNU Emacs 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, GNU 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;
+GNU Emacs 19 uses two distinct objects, "text properties" and
+"overlays", which divide up the functionality between them. Extents are
+a superset of the union of the functionality of the two GNU Emacs data
+types. The full GNU Emacs 19 interface to text properties and overlays
+is supported in XEmacs (with extents being the underlying
+representation).
+
+Extents can be made to be copied into strings, and then restored, by
+kill and yank. Thus, one can specify this behavior on either "extents"
+or "text properties", whereas in GNU Emacs 19 text properties always
+have this behavior and overlays never do.
+
+@item Window System Programming Interface
+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 supports Motif applications, generic Xt (e.g. Athena)
+applications, and raw Xlib applications. An XEmacs variant which
+supports GTK+ is available (integration as an option in the XEmacs
+mainline is planned for XEmacs 22), although code to take advantage of
+the support is as yet scarce.
+
+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.
+
+@item Community Participation
+Joining the XEmacs development team is simple. Mail to
+@email{xemacs-beta@@xemacs.org, XEmacs Developers}, and you're in! (If
+you want to be, of course. You're also welcome to just post
+development-related questions and bug reports.) The GNU Emacs
+development team and internal mailing lists are still by invitation
+only.
+
+The "bleeding edge" of mainline XEmacs development is available by
+anonymous CVS as are some subsidiary branches (check out the xemacs-gtk
+module for the latest in GUI features!)
+
+Development and maintenance of Lisp libraries is separated from the core
+editor development at a fairly low level. This provides better
+modularization and a better division of responsibility between external
+library maintainers and the XEmacs core development team. Even for
+packages the size of Gnus, XEmacs users normally have access to a
+pre-built version within a few weeks of a major release, and minor
+updates often within days.
+
+CVS commit authority is broadly dispersed. Recognized maintainers of
+LISP libraries who are willing to maintain XEmacs packaged versions
+automatically qualify for CVS accounts for their packages.

+RMS has asserted at times that XEmacs is merely a "patch" on top of
+GNU Emacs (@pxref{Q1.6.4}).  In fact, probably not more than 5% of the
+code, if that, remains unchanged, and nearly 14 years of work has gone
+into XEmacs at this point. (GNU Emacs itself is only than 20 years
+old, and thus XEmacs has existed as a separate product for over 2/3 of
+the lifespan of GNU Emacs.) As a point of comparison, XEmacs 21.5 has
+perhaps 65,000 more lines of C code than GNU Emacs 21.2.
 
-@quotation
-sed 3.0 has been withdrawn from distribution.  It has major revisions,
-which mostly seem to be improvements; but it turns out to have bugs too
-which cause trouble in some common cases.
+However, the XEmacs developers strive to keep their code compatible with
+GNU Emacs, especially on the Lisp level.  Much effort goes into
+"synching" the XEmacs Elisp code with recent GNU Emacs releases so as to
+benefit from GNU Emacs development work. (In contrast, almost no code
+from XEmacs has made it into GNU Emacs, and in fact the GNU Emacs
+developers are instructed by RMS not to even look at XEmacs source code!
+This stems from self-imposed licensing restrictions on the part of GNU
+Emacs -- and almost certainly out of hostility, as well.)

-version 2.05 once again the recommended version.
+RMS insists on the term "GNU XEmacs" and maintains that
+
+@quotation
+XEmacs is GNU software because it's a modified version of a
+GNU program. And it is GNU software because the FSF is the copyright
+holder for most of it, and therefore the legal responsibility for
+protecting its free status falls on us whether we want it or not. This
+is why the term "GNU XEmacs" is legitimate.
 @end quotation
 
-It has also been observed that the vfork test on Solaris will leave a

+In fact, FSF is @emph{not} the copyright holder for most of the code,
+as very little unmodified FSF code remains (@pxref{Q1.6.3}).
+
+Furthermore, RMS's assertion that XEmacs is "GNU" seems rather bizarre
+to the XEmacs developers given RMS's hostility and general lack of
+interest in cooperation.  "GNU" software in general is part of the GNU
+Project, is distributed by it on their FTP site, and receives support
+(or at least cooperation), as well as implicit endorsement, from it.
+The GNU Project, however, has never supported XEmacs and never
+distributed XEmacs, and RMS's hostility is the farthest thing possible
+from an endorsement.  In fact, the GNU Project distributes a number of
+non-GNU software projects on the FSF web site, but again XEmacs is not
+one of them.
+
+@node Q1.6.5, Q1.6.6, Q1.6.4, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.6.5: What is the correct way to refer to XEmacs and GNU Emacs?
+
+Unfortunately even the naming of these two applications has become
+politicized.  Much of this stems from RMS, who has a history of
+politicizing similar issues. (Compare the controversy over "Lignux"
+and "GNU/Linux".) We would prefer that the terms "XEmacs" and "GNU
+Emacs" be used, which are neutral and acceptable to most people.  RMS,
+however, is not willing to accept these terms.  He insists that, if
+his product is called "GNU Emacs", then ours must be called "GNU
+XEmacs". (For our opinion of this term, @xref{Q1.6.4}.) On the other
+hand, if our product is to be called "XEmacs", as we prefer, then his
+product must simply be called "Emacs".  The intent of this seems
+clear: RMS wants to make sure the names reflect his view that his
+version is the "real" Emacs and ours is merely a derivative,
+second-class product (@pxref{Q1.6.3}).
+
+The XEmacs developers hope that you will use the neutral terms
+"XEmacs" and "GNU Emacs" for these two specific products. "Emacs", on
+the other hand, is a generic term for a class of programmable text
+editors with a similar look-and-feel, and usually a Lisp-based
+extension language.  These trace themselves back to early editors such
+as EINE, ZWEI, ZMACS and Multics Emacs. @xref{A History of Emacs,,,
+internals, XEmacs Internals Manual}.
+
+We also call upon RMS, in the spirit of furthering cooperation, to
+stop politicizing this issue and use the neutral terms "XEmacs" and
+"GNU Emacs".  We have already acceded to RMS' wishes in this respect,
+and we expect him to do the same. (In the past, the XEmacs developers
+often used the terms "FSF Emacs" or "FSFmacs" or "RMSmacs" in
+reference to GNU Emacs; these terms were apparently modeled after RMS'
+own usage of "Gosmacs" and "Gosling Emacs" in reference to Unipress
+Emacs, produced by James Gosling.  RMS, however, considers such terms
+to be insulting, so we refrain from using them as much as possible in
+preference to GNU Emacs.)

-@node Q2.0.11, Q2.0.12, Q2.0.10, Installation
-@unnumberedsubsec Q2.0.11: XEmacs doesn't resolve hostnames.
+There are currently irreconcilable differences in the views about
+technical, programming, design, organizational and legal matters
+between Richard Stallman (RMS), the author and leader of the GNU Emacs
+project, and the XEmacs development team which provide little hope for
+a merge to take place in the short-term future.  There have been
+repeated attempts at merging by all of the major XEmacs developers,
+starting from the early days of Lucid Emacs (in 1991), but they have
+all failed.  RMS has very strong views about how GNU Emacs should be
+structured and how his project should be run, and during the repeated
+merge efforts has never demonstrated any realistic interest in
+sufficiently compromising or ceding control to allow a middle ground
+to be found.  The basic problem seems to be the very different goals
+of RMS and the XEmacs project.  The primary goals of the XEmacs
+project are technical and organizational -- we want to create the best
+editor possible, and to make it as easy as possible for people around
+the world to contribute.  The primary goals of RMS, on the other hand,
+are political, and GNU Emacs, and any potential merge efforts with
+XEmacs, are strictly subservient to these goals.  In fact, in many
+ways RMS sees GNU Emacs as the "poster child" of his aims, the one
+program in the GNU project that above all others must set an example
+to the world. (This has to do with the fact that GNU Emacs was the
+first program in the GNU project, and the only one that he is still
+personally involved with on a day-to-day basis.)  Given his goals, his
+position is completely reasonable -- but unfortunately, makes any
+merge impossible.
+
+From the XEmacs perspective, the most intractable issues appear to be
+legal and organizational, specifically:
 
-This is the result of a long-standing problem with SunOS and the fact
-that stock SunOS systems do not ship with DNS resolver code in libc.
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+RMS requires "legal papers" to be signed for all contributions of code
+to GNU Emacs over 10 lines or so, transferring the copyright and all
+legal rights to the code to the Free Software Foundation.  XEmacs does
+not and has never required this, since it has the practical effect of
+discouraging individual and in particular corporate contributions --
+corporations will almost never sign away their legal rights to code
+since it makes it impossible to reuse the code in any product that
+whose license is not compatible with the GNU General Public License.
+Since RMS has shown no inclination to compromise on this issue, a
+merge would require that most of the existing XEmacs code would need
+to be thrown away and rewritten -- something the XEmacs developers are
+understandably reluctant to do.
+
+@item 
+A repeated stumbling block in the merge talks has been the issue of
+organizational control over the resulting product.  RMS has made it
+clear that he intends to have final say over design issues in a merged
+Emacs.  Unfortunately, RMS and the XEmacs developers have repeatedly
+clashed over design decisions, and RMS' insistence on getting his way
+in such disagreements was the very reason for the split in the first
+place.  This same issue has come up again and again in merge talks and
+we have never been able to come to a satisfactory resolution.  To the
+extent that RMS is willing to compromise at all, it appears to be of a
+purely political rather than technical nature -- "If we support this
+feature of yours, we also get to support this other feature of mine."
+The XEmacs developers cannot see how such a process would lead to
+anything but a mess of incompatible things hodgepodged together.

+XEmacs, the majority of the Elisp packages that came with previous
+releases have been unbundled.  They have been replaced by the package
+system.  Each elisp add-on (or groups of them when they are small) now
+comes in its own tarball that contains a small search hierarchy.

+You select just the ones you need.  Install them by untarring them into
+the right place.  On startup XEmacs will find them, set up the load
+path correctly, install autoloads, etc, etc.
 
-@quotation
-Because of the way XEmacs (and every other Emacsen, AFAIK) is built. The
-link gives you a bare-boned emacs (called temacs). temacs is then run,
-preloading some of the lisp files. The result is then dumped into a new
-executable, named xemacs, which will contain all of the preloaded lisp
-functions and data.
+@xref{Q2.1.1}, for more info on how to download and install the packages.
 
-Now, during the dump itself, the executable (code+data+symbols) is
-written on disk using a special unexec() function. This function is
-obviously heavily system dependent. And on some systems, it leads to an
-executable which, although valid, cannot be stripped without damage. If
-memory serves, this is especially the case for AIX binaries. On other
-architecture it might work OK.
+@node Q1.7.2, Q1.7.3, Q1.7.1, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.7.2: Which external packages are there?
 
-The Right Way to strip the emacs binary is to strip temacs prior to
-dumping xemacs. This will always work, although you can do that only if
-you install from sources (as temacs is @file{not} part of the binary
-kits).

+@item calc
+Emacs calculator.
 
-First of all, don't panic.  Whenever XEmacs crashes, it tries extremely
-hard to auto-save all of your files before dying.  (The main time that
-this will not happen is if the machine physically lost power or if you
-killed the XEmacs process using @code{kill -9}).  The next time you try
-to edit those files, you will be informed that a more recent auto-save
-file exists.  You can use @kbd{M-x recover-file} to retrieve the

-pretty good memory of exactly what you were doing at the time), the
-maintainers would be very interested in knowing about it.  Post a
-message to comp.emacs.xemacs or send mail to @email{crashes@@xemacs.org}.
-Please note that the @samp{crashes} address is exclusively for crash
-reports.
-
-If at all possible, include a stack backtrace of the core dump that was
-produced.  This shows where exactly things went wrong, and makes it much
-easier to diagnose problems.  To do this, you need to locate the core
-file (it's called @file{core}, and is usually sitting in the directory
-that you started XEmacs from, or your home directory if that other
-directory was not writable).  Then, go to that directory and execute a

-If you're using a debugger to get a C stack backtrace and you're seeing

-clean.
+Strictly speaking, no.  XEmacs will build and install just fine without

-If you're using a debugger to get a C stack backtrace and you're
-getting a completely mangled and bogus stack trace, it's probably due to
-one of the following:
+If you want to find out which package contains the functionality you

+symbol that is likely to be in that package.  
 
-@enumerate a
-@item
-Your executable has been stripped.  Bad news.  Tell your sysadmin not to
-do this---it doesn't accomplish anything except to save a bit of disk
-space, and makes debugging much much harder.
+For example, if some code you want to use has a @code{(require 'thingatpt)}
+in it:
 
-@item
-Your stack is getting trashed.  Debugging this is hard; you have to do a
-binary-search type of narrowing down where the crash occurs, until you
-figure out exactly which line is causing the problem.  Of course, this
-only works if the bug is highly reproducible.
+@example
+	M-x package-get-package-provider RET thingatpt RET
+@end example
 
-@item
-If your stack trace has exactly one frame in it, with address 0x0, this
-could simply mean that XEmacs attempted to execute code at that address,
-e.g. through jumping to a null function pointer.  Unfortunately, under
-those circumstances, GDB under Linux doesn't know how to get a stack
-trace. (Yes, this is the third Linux-related problem I've mentioned.  I
-have no idea why GDB under Linux is so bogus.  Complain to the GDB
-authors, or to comp.os.linux.development.system).  Again, you'll have to
-use the narrowing-down process described above.

+@node Q1.8.5, Q1.8.6, Q1.8.4, Introduction
+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.8.5: Please explain the various input methods in MULE/XEmacs
+
+Mule supports a wide variety of input methods.  There are three basic
+classes: Lisp implementations, generic platform support, and library
+interfaces.
+
+@emph{Lisp implementations} include Quail, which provides table-driven input
+methods for almost all the character sets that Mule supports (including
+all of the ISO 8859 family, the Indic languages, Thai, and so on), and
+SKK, for Japanese.  (SKK also supports an interface to an external
+"dictionary server" process.)  Quail supports both typical "dead-key"
+methods (eg, in the "latin-1-prefix" method, @kbd{" a} produces ä, LATIN
+SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS), and the complex dictionary-based phonetic
+methods used for Asian ideographic languages like Chinese.
+
+Lisp implementations can be less powerful (but they are not perceptibly
+inefficient), and of course are not portable to non-Emacs applications.
+The incompatibility can be very annoying.  On the other hand, they
+require no special platform support or external libraries, so if you can
+display the characters, Mule can input them for you and you can edit,
+anywhere.
+
+@emph{Generic platform support} is currently limited to the X Input
+Method (XIM) framework, although support for MSIME (for MS Windows) is
+planned, and IIIMF (Sun's Internet-Intranet Input Method Framework)
+support is extremely desirable.  XIM is enabled at build time by use of
+the @samp{--with-xim} flag to @code{configure}.  For use of XIM, see
+your platform documentation.  However, normally the input method you use
+is specified via the @samp{LANG} and @samp{XMODIFIERS} environment
+variables.
+
+Of course, input skills are portable across most applications.  However,
+especially in modern GUI systems the habit of using bucky bits has
+fallen into sad disuse, and many XIM systems are poorly configured for
+use with Emacs.  For example, the kinput2 input manager (a separate
+process providing an interface between Japanese dictionary servers such
+as Canna and Wnn, and the application) tends to gobble up keystrokes
+generating Meta characters.  This means that to edit while using an XIM
+input method, you must toggle the input method off every time you want
+to use @kbd{M-f}.  Your mileage may vary.
+
+@emph{Library interfaces} are most common for Japanese, although Wnn
+supports Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Korean.  There are
+Chinese and Korean input servers available, but we do not know of any
+patches for XEmacs to use them directly.  You can use them via
+IM-enabled terminals, by manipulating the terminal coding systems.  We
+describe only the Japanese-oriented systems here.  The advantage of
+these systems is that they are very powerful, and on platforms where
+they are available there is typically a wide range of applications that
+support them.  Thus your input skills are portable across applications.
+
+Mule provides built-in interfaces to the following input methods: Wnn4,
+Wnn6, Canna, and SJ3.  These can be configured at build time.  There are
+patches available (no URL, sorry) to support the SKK server, as well.
+Wnn and SJ3 use the @code{egg} user interface.  The interface for Canna
+is specialized to Canna.
 
-As with other errors, set @code{debug-on-error} to @code{t} to get the
-backtrace when the error occurs.  Specifically, two problems have been
-reported (and fixed).
+Wnn supports Japanese, Chinese and Korean. It is made by OMRON and Kyôto
+University. It is a powerful and complex system.  Wnn4 is free and Wnn6
+is not.  Wnn uses grammatical hints and probability of word association,
+so in principle Wnn can be cleverer than other methods.
+
+Canna, made by NEC, supports only Japanese.  It is a simple and powerful
+system. Canna uses only grammar, but its grammar and dictionary are
+quite sophisticated.  So for standard modern Japanese, Canna seems
+cleverer than Wnn4. In addition, the UNIX version of Canna is free (now
+there is a Microsoft Windows version).
+
+SJ3, by Sony, supports only Japanese.
+
+Egg consists of following parts:
 
 @enumerate

-A problem with line-number-mode in XEmacs 19.14 affected a large number
-of other packages.  If you see this error message, turn off
-line-number-mode.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q1.8.9: How does XEmacs display Unicode?
 
-How can @file{.emacs} determine which of the family of Emacsen I am
-using?
+Mule doesn't have a Unicode charset internally, so there's nothing to
+bind a Unicode registry to.  It would not be straightforward to create,
+either, because Unicode is not ISO 2022-compatible.  You'd have to
+translate it to multiple 96x96 pages.
 
-To determine if you are currently running GNU Emacs 18, GNU Emacs 19,
-XEmacs 19, XEmacs 20, or Epoch, and use appropriate code, check out the
-example given in @file{etc/sample.emacs}.  There are other nifty things
-in there as well!
+This means that Mule-UCS uses ordinary national fonts for display.  This
+is not really a problem, except for those languages that use the Unified
+Han characters.  The problem here is that Mule-UCS maps from Unicode
+code points to national character sets in a deterministic way.  By
+default, this means that Japanese fonts are tried first, then Chinese,
+then Korean.  To change the priority ordering, use the command
+`un-define-change-charset-order'.
 
-For all new code, all you really need to do is:
+It also means you can't use Unicode fonts directly, at least not without
+extreme hackery.  You can run -nw with (set-terminal-coding-system
+'utf-8) if you really want a Unicode font for some reason.

-@end lisp
+How can I just try XEmacs without installing it?
 
-It's almost always a mistake to test @code{emacs-version} or any similar
-variables.
+XEmacs will run in place without requiring installation and copying of
+the Lisp directories, and without having to specify a special build-time
+flag.  It's the copying of the Lisp directories that requires so much
+space.  XEmacs is largely written in Lisp.
 
-Instead, use feature-tests, such as @code{featurep}, @code{boundp},
-@code{fboundp}, or even simple behavioral tests, eg.:
+A good method is to make a shell alias for xemacs:
 
-@lisp

-    (wrong-number-of-arguments t)))

-much better more often in more places if it did the above instead of

-In addition, an @file{app-defaults} file is supplied,

+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.1.3: Can I install the packages automatically?
 
-When I run @samp{xterm -name junk}, I get an xterm whose class name
-according to xprop, is @samp{junk}.  This is the way it's supposed to
-work, I think.  When I run @samp{xemacs -name junk} the class name is
-not set to @samp{junk}.  It's still @samp{emacs}.  What does
-@samp{xemacs -name} really do?  The reason I ask is that my window
-manager (fvwm) will make a window sticky and I use XEmacs to read my
-mail.  I want that XEmacs window to be sticky, without having to use the
-window manager's function to set the window sticky.  What gives?
+XEmacs comes with some tools to make the periodic updating and
+installing easier. It will notice if new packages or versions are
+available and will fetch them from the FTP site.
 
-@samp{xemacs -name} sets the application name for the program (that is,
-the thing which normally comes from @samp{argv[0]}).  Using @samp{-name}
-is the same as making a copy of the executable with that new name.  The
-@code{WM_CLASS} property on each frame is set to the frame-name, and the
-application-class.  So, if you did @samp{xemacs -name FOO} and then
-created a frame named @var{BAR}, you'd get an X window with WM_CLASS =
-@code{( "BAR", "Emacs")}.  However, the resource hierarchy for this
-widget would be:
+Unfortunately this requires that a few packages are already in place.
+You will have to install them by hand as above or use a SUMO tarball.
+This requirement will hopefully go away in the future. The packages
+you need are:
 
 @example
-Name:    FOO   .shell             .container   .BAR
-Class:   Emacs .TopLevelEmacsShell.EmacsManager.EmacsFrame
+   efs          - To fetch the files from the FTP site or mirrors.
+   xemacs-base  - Needed by efs.
 @end example
 
-instead of the default
+and optionally:
 
 @example
-Name:    xemacs.shell             .container   .emacs
-Class:   Emacs .TopLevelEmacsShell.EmacsManager.EmacsFrame
+   mailcrypt    - For PGP verification of the package-index file.
 @end example
 
+After installing these by hand, fire up XEmacs and follow these
+steps.
 
-It is arguable that the first element of WM_CLASS should be set to the
-application-name instead of the frame-name, but I think that's less
-flexible, since it does not give you the ability to have multiple frames
-with different WM_CLASS properties.  Another possibility would be for
-the default frame name to come from the application name instead of
-simply being @samp{emacs}.  However, at this point, making that change
-would be troublesome: it would mean that many users would have to make
-yet another change to their resource files (since the default frame name
-would suddenly change from @samp{emacs} to @samp{xemacs}, or whatever
-the executable happened to be named), so we'd rather avoid it.

-Emacs*menubar*font:           fixed
-Emacs.modeline.attributeFont: fixed
+xemacs-base, xemacs-devel, c-support, cc-mode, debug, dired, efs,
+edit-utils, fsf-compat, mail-lib, net-utils, os-utils, prog-modes,
+text-modes, time, mailcrypt

-This is confusing because modeline is a face, and can be found listed

+On startup XEmacs looks for packages in so-called package hierarchies.
+Normally, there are three system wide hierarchies, like this:
 
 @example
-Emacs.zmacs-region.attributeForeground: firebrick
-Emacs.zmacs-region.attributeBackground: lightseagreen
-@end example
+$prefix/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/
+     Normal packages go here.
 
-or in your @file{.emacs}:
+$prefix/lib/xemacs/mule-packages/
+     Mule packages go here and are only searched by MULE-enabled XEmacsen.
 
-@lisp
-(set-face-background 'zmacs-region "red")
-(set-face-foreground 'zmacs-region "yellow")
-@end lisp
+$prefix/lib/xemacs/site-packages/
+     Local and 3rd party packages go here.
+@end example
 
-@node Q3.2.4, Q3.2.5, Q3.2.3, Customization
-@unnumberedsubsec Q3.2.4: How can I limit color map usage?
+This is what you get when you untar the SUMO tarballs under
+@file{$prefix/lib/xemacs}.
 
-I'm using Netscape (or another color grabber like XEmacs);
-is there anyway to limit the number of available colors in the color map?
+@file{$prefix} is specified using the @samp{--prefix} parameter to
+@file{configure}, and defaults to @file{usr/local}.
 
-XEmacs 19.13 didn't have such a mechanism (unlike netscape, or other
-color-hogs).  One solution is to start XEmacs prior to netscape, since
-this will prevent Netscape from grabbing all colors (but Netscape will
-complain).  You can use the flags for Netscape, like -mono, -ncols <#>
-or -install (for mono, limiting to <#> colors, or for using a private
-color map).  Since Netscape will take the entire colormap and never
-release it, the only reasonable way to run it is with @samp{-install}.
+If the package path is not explicitly specified, XEmacs looks for the
+package directory @file{xemacs-packages} (and @file{mule-packages} and
+@file{site-packages}) first under @samp{~/.xemacs}, then for a sister
+directory @file{lib/xemacs-VERSION} of the directory in which the
+XEmacs executable is located, then for a sister directory
+@file{lib/xemacs}.  The XEmacs executable (under Unix at least) is
+installed by default in @file{/usr/local/bin}; this explains why
+XEmacs in its default installation will find packages that you put
+under @file{/usr/local/lib/xemacs}.
 
-If you have the money, another solution would be to use a truecolor or
-direct color video.
+You can specify where exactly XEmacs looks for packages by using the
+@samp{--with-package-prefix} or @samp{--with-package-path} parameters to
+@file{configure} (or the equivalent settings in @file{config.inc}, under
+Windows), or setting the @samp{EMACSPACKAGEPATH} environment variable
+(which has the same format as @samp{--with-package-path}).  @xref{Q2.1.1}.
 
-Starting with XEmacs 19.14, XEmacs uses the closest available color if
-the colormap is full, so it's O.K. now to start Netscape first.
+See @file{configure.usage} for more info about the format of these
+@file{configure} parameters.

-XEmacs tries to automatically determine whether your tty supports color,
-but sometimes guesses wrong.  In that case, you can make XEmacs Do The

+The site-packages hierarchy replaces the old @file{site-lisp}

+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.3.1: What exactly are all the different ways to build XEmacs under Windows?
+
+XEmacs can be built in several ways in the MS Windows environment.
+
+The standard way is what we call the "native" port.  It uses the Win32
+API and has no connection with X whatsoever -- it does not require X
+libraries to build, nor does it require an X server to run.  The native
+port is the most reliable version and provides the best graphical
+support.  Almost all development is geared towards this version, and
+there is little reason not to use it.
+
+The second way to build is the Cygwin port.  It takes advantage of
+Cygnus emulation library under Win32.  @xref{Q1.2.5, What are Cygwin
+and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?}, for more information.
+
+A third way is the MinGW port.  It uses the Cygwin environment to
+build but does not require it at runtime.  @xref{Q1.2.5, What are
+Cygwin and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?}, for more
+information.
+
+Finally, you might also be able to build the non-Cygwin, non-MinGW "X"
+port.  This was actually the first version of XEmacs that ran under MS
+Windows, and although the code is still in XEmacs, it's essentially
+orphaned and it's unlikely it will compile without a lot of work.  If
+you want an MS Windows versin of XEmacs that supports X, use the Cygwin
+version. (The X support there is actively maintained, so that Windows
+developers can test the X support in XEmacs.)
+
+@node Q2.3.2, Q2.3.3, Q2.3.1, Installation
+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.3.2: What compiler/libraries do I need to compile XEmacs?
+
+You need Visual C++ 4.2, 5.0, or 6.0 for the native version. (We have
+some beta testers currently trying to compile with VC.NET, aka version
+7.0, but we can't yet report complete success.) For the Cygwin and
+MinGW versions, you need the Cygwin environment, which comes with GCC,
+the compiler used for those versions.  @xref{Q1.2.5, What are Cygwin
+and MinGW, and do I need them to run XEmacs?}, for more information on

+file @file{setup.exe}, which you can use to download everything
+else. (You will need to pick a mirror site; @samp{mirrors.rcn.net} is
+probably the best.) You should go ahead and install everything --
+you'll get various ancillary libraries that XEmacs needs or likes,
+e.g. XPM, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.  You can also get X Windows here, if you
+want to compile under X.
 
-Then, when editing a Lisp file (i.e. when in Lisp mode), the modeline
-colors change from the default set in your @file{.emacs}.  The change
-will only be made in the buffer you just entered (which contains the
-Lisp file you are editing) and will not affect the modeline colors
-anywhere else.
+If you want to compile without X, you will need the @file{xpm-nox}
+library, which must be specifically selected in the Cygwin netinstaller;
+it is not selected by default.  The package has had various names.
+Currently it is called @file{cygXpm-noX4.dll}.

 @itemize @bullet
+@item
+make sure HOME is set. This controls where you
+@file{init.el} file comes from;
 
 @item
-The hook is the mode name plus @code{-hook}.  eg. c-mode-hook,

-@file{xx.el} file), lisp-interaction-mode-hook (the @samp{*scratch*}
-buffer), text-mode-hook, etc.
+@samp{CYGWIN} needs to be set to @samp{tty} for process support to work;
 
 @item
-Be sure to use @code{add-hook}, not @code{(setq c-mode-hook xxxx)},
-otherwise you will erase anything that anybody has already put on the
-hook.
+picking up some other grep or other UNIX-like tools can kill configure;
 
 @item
-You can also do @code{(set-face-font 'modeline @var{font})},
-eg. @code{(set-face-font 'modeline "*bold-r-normal*140-100-100*"
-(current-buffer))} if you wish the modeline font to vary based on the
-current mode.
-@end itemize
+static heap too small, adjust @file{src/sheap-adjust.h} to a more positive
+number;
 
-This works in 19.15 as well, but there are additional modeline faces,
-@code{modeline-buffer-id}, @code{modeline-mousable}, and
-@code{modeline-mousable-minor-mode}, which you may want to customize.
+@item
+(Unconfirmed) The Cygwin version doesn't understand
+@file{//machine/path} type paths so you will need to manually mount a

+on the directory;

-However, this only works if there is a current X selection (the

-@kbd{paste} key to insert the current X selection if there is one,
-otherwise insert the contents of the clipboard.  To do this you need to
-pass arguments to @code{x-insert-selection}.  This is done by wrapping
-the call in a 'lambda form:

-This binds the f18 key to a @dfn{generic} functional object.  The
-interactive spec is required because only interactive functions can be
-bound to keys.
+@item
+Specify the target location of the extra libs on the command line

-This is fine if you only need a few functions within the lambda body.
-If you're doing more it's cleaner to define a separate function as in

+As noted above, the non-Cygwin X support is basically orphaned, and

+come up with a reproducible way of doing this (or even if you have a
+pretty good memory of exactly what you were doing at the time), the
+maintainers would be very interested in knowing about it.  The best
+way to report a bug is using @kbd{M-x report-emacs-bug} (or by

+won't work (e.g. you can't get XEmacs working at all), send ordinary

+If at all possible, include a C stack backtrace of the core dump that

+it much easier to diagnose problems.  To do this under Unix and Mac OS
+X, you need to locate the core file (it's called @file{core}, and is
+usually sitting in the directory that you started XEmacs from, or your
+home directory if that other directory was not writable).  Then, go to
+that directory and execute a command like:

+and then issue the command @samp{where} to get the stack backtrace.  You

+It's possible that a core file didn't get produced or the stack trace
+from gdb is garbage, in which case you're out of luck unless you can
+reproduce the bug.  A nonexistent core file can happen in some
+circumstances on some operating systems, depending on what exactly
+triggered the crash.  It's also possible, however, that your limits
+are set to turn them off.  You may be able to reenable them using a
+command like @samp{unlimit coredumpsize} or @samp{ulimit -c}. (To find
+out how your limits are set, use the command @samp{limit}.) However, if
+you didn't explicitly set your limits this way, go complain to your
+system administrator and tell him not to disable core files by
+default.
+
+A garbaged stack trace can happen for various reasons.  Some versions
+of gdb are broken on certain operating systems and aren't able to read
+the core file.  It's also possible that the stack got overwritten
+during the crash.  A very simple reason, however, is that your version
+of XEmacs was compiled without debugging information or had the
+debugging information stripped.  A compilation with optimization can
+also result in partly or completely garbaged stack trace.  In such
+cases, you will need to recompile XEmacs with debugging information
+and without optimization; @xref{Q2.4.4, How to debug an XEmacs problem
+with a debugger}.  Note also that core files currently don't work at
+all under Cygwin, and the only way to get a backtrace is to run XEmacs
+from gdb.
+
+If you cannot get a backtrace from the core dump, but can reproduce
+the problem, try running XEmacs under gdb.  The goal is to get clean C
+and Lisp backtraces and submit a bug report including full
+configuration information as described above, as this will greatly
+assist in the process of tracking down the bug.  However, even partial
+information is better than none.  The process of getting backtraces
+from gdb is described in detail in @ref{Q2.4.4, How to debug an XEmacs
+problem with a debugger}.
+
+If you're under Microsoft Windows, you're out of luck unless you happen
+to have a debugging aid installed on your system, for example Visual
+C++.  In this case, the crash will result in a message giving you the
+option to enter a debugger (for example, by pressing @samp{Cancel}).  Do
+this and locate the stack-trace window. (If your XEmacs was built
+without debugging information, the stack trace may not be very useful.)

+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+First of all, if the crash is at all reproducible, consider very
+strongly recompiling your XEmacs with debugging symbols and with no
+optimization (e.g. with GCC use the compiler flags @samp{-g -O0} --
+that's an "oh" followed by a zero), and with the configure options
+@samp{--debug=yes} and @samp{--error-checking=all}
+(@samp{--enable-debug=yes} and @samp{--enable-error-checking=all} on
+XEmacs 21.5 or later).  This will make your XEmacs run somewhat slower,
+but you are a lot more likely to catch the problem earlier (closer to
+its source).  It makes it a lot easier to determine what's going on with
+a debugger.  The way to control the compiler flags is with the
+configuration option @samp{--cflags} (@samp{--with-cflags} in 21.5).  If
+you have a recent version of 21.5, you should use
+@samp{--without-optimization} in preference to directly setting
+@samp{--cflags}.
+
+@item
+If it's not a true crash (@emph{i.e.}, XEmacs is hung, or a zombie
+process), or it's inconvenient to run XEmacs again because XEmacs is
+already running or is running in batch mode as part of a bunch of
+scripts, you may be able to attach to the existing process with your
+debugger.  Under Unix and Mac OS X, the typical way to do this is to
+first use some variant of the @samp{ps} command to figure out the
+process ID of XEmacs, for example @samp{ps -auxww | grep xemacs} under
+a BSD variant, @samp{ps -elf | grep xemacs} under Linux or System V,
+or @samp{ps -aW | grep xemacs} under Cygwin.  Then run
+
+@example
+gdb /path/to/xemacs/xemacs ####
+@end example
+
+Where @code{####} is the process id of your XEmacs. (If you're not
+sure, try using @samp{which xemacs}.) When gdb attaches, the xemacs
+will stop and you can type @samp{where} in gdb to get a stack trace as
+usual.  To get things moving again, you can just type @samp{quit} in
+gdb.  It'll tell you the program is running and ask if you want to
+quit anyways.  Say @samp{y} and it'll quit and have your emacs
+continue from where it was at.
+
+If you're running another debugger, a similar method may work, or you
+may have to run the debugger first and then use the @code{attach}
+command or something similar.
+
+Under Microsoft Windows, use the menu item @samp{Build->Start
+Debug->Attach to Process...} and select the XEmacs process from the list
+given.
+
+@item
+If you're able to run XEmacs under a debugger and reproduce the crash,
+here are some things you can do:
+
+@item
+If XEmacs is hitting an assertion failure, put a breakpoint on
+@code{assert_failed()}.
+
+@item
+If XEmacs is hitting some weird Lisp error that's causing it to crash
+(e.g. during startup), put a breakpoint on @code{signal_1()}---this is
+declared static in @file{eval.c}.
+
+@item
+If XEmacs is outputting lots of X errors, put a breakpoint on
+@code{x_error_handler()}; that will tell you which call is causing
+them.  Note that the result may not be very useful by default because
+X Windows normally operates asynchronously: A bunch of commands are
+buffered up and then sent to the server all at once.  This greatly
+improves performance over a network but means that an error may not be
+reported until the server receives the commands, which can be long
+after XEmacs made the erroneous calls.  For best results, you need to
+make the X server synchronous before getting the backtrace.  This can
+be done by starting XEmacs with the @samp{-sync} option or executing
+the Lisp code @code{(x-debug-mode t)}.
+
+@item
+Internally, you will probably see lots of variables that hold objects of
+type @code{Lisp_Object}.  These are references to Lisp objects.
+Printing them out with the debugger probably won't be too
+useful---you'll likely just see a number.  To decode them, do this:
+
+@example
+call debug_print (OBJECT)
+@end example
+
+where @var{OBJECT} is whatever you want to decode (it can be a variable,
+a function call, etc.).  This uses the Lisp printing routines to out a
+readable representation on the TTY from which the xemacs process was
+invoked.
+
+Under 21.5 and later, @code{dp} is defined as an easier-to-type equivalent
+of @code{debug_print}.  You can also try @code{dpa} if you can't see
+the output from @code{debug_print} (this will return a string containing
+the output), or use @code{debug_p3} if @code{debug_print} itself triggers
+a crash (this is a less comprehensive but super-safe way to print out
+a Lisp object).
+
+@item
+If you want to get a Lisp backtrace showing the Lisp call
+stack, do this:
+
+@example
+call debug_backtrace ()
+@end example
+
+Under 21.5 and later, @code{db} is defined as an easier-to-type equivalent
+of @code{debug_backtrace}.
+
+@item
+Using @code{debug_print} and @code{debug_backtrace} has two
+disadvantages - they can only be used with a running (including hung
+or zombie) xemacs process, and they do not display the internal C
+structure of a Lisp Object.  Even if all you've got is a core dump,
+all is not lost.
+
+If you're using GDB, there are some macros in the file
+@file{src/.gdbinit} in the XEmacs source distribution that should make
+it easier for you to decode Lisp objects.  This file is automatically
+read by gdb if gdb is run in the directory where xemacs was built, and
+contains these useful macros to inspect the state of xemacs:
+
+@table @code
+@item pobj
+Usage: pobj lisp_object @*
+Print the internal C representation of a lisp object.
+
+@item xtype
+Usage: xtype lisp_object @*
+Print the Lisp type of a lisp object.
+
+@item lbt
+Usage: lbt @*
+Print the current Lisp stack trace.
+Requires a running xemacs process.  (It works by calling the db
+routine described above.)
+
+@item ldp
+Usage: ldp lisp_object @*
+Print a Lisp Object value using the Lisp printer.
+Requires a running xemacs process.  (It works by calling the dp
+routine described above.)
+
+@item run-temacs
+Usage: run-temacs @*
+Run temacs interactively, like xemacs.
+Use this with debugging tools (like purify) that cannot deal with dumping,
+or when temacs builds successfully, but xemacs does not.
+
+@item dump-temacs
+Usage: dump-temacs @*
+Run the dumping part of the build procedure.
+Use when debugging temacs, not xemacs!
+Use this when temacs builds successfully, but xemacs does not.
+
+@item check-xemacs
+Usage: check-xemacs @*
+Run the test suite.  Equivalent to 'make check'.
+
+@item check-temacs
+Usage: check-temacs @*
+Run the test suite on temacs.  Equivalent to 'make check-temacs'.
+Use this with debugging tools (like purify) that cannot deal with dumping,
+or when temacs builds successfully, but xemacs does not.
+@end table
+
+If you are using Sun's @file{dbx} debugger, there is an equivalent file
+@file{src/.dbxrc}, which defines the same commands for dbx.
+
+@item
+If you're using a debugger to get a C stack backtrace and you're seeing
+stack traces with some of the innermost frames mangled, it may be due to
+dynamic linking. (This happens especially under Linux.) Consider
+reconfiguring with @samp{--dynamic=no} (@samp{--with-dynamic=no} in 21.5
+or later).  Also, sometimes (again under Linux), stack backtraces of
+core dumps will have the frame where the fatal signal occurred mangled;
+if you can obtain a stack trace while running the XEmacs process under a
+debugger, the stack trace should be clean.
+
+@email{1CMC3466@@ibm.mtsac.edu, Curtiss} suggests upgrading to ld.so
+version 1.8 if dynamic linking and debugging is a problem on Linux.
+
+@item
+If you're using a debugger to get a C stack backtrace and you're
+getting a completely mangled and bogus stack trace, it's probably due to
+one of the following:
+
+@enumerate a
+@item
+Your executable has been stripped.  Bad news.  Tell your sysadmin not to
+do this---it doesn't accomplish anything except to save a bit of disk
+space, and makes debugging much much harder.
+
+@item
+Your stack is getting trashed.  Debugging this is hard; you have to do a
+binary-search type of narrowing down where the crash occurs, until you
+figure out exactly which line is causing the problem.  Of course, this
+only works if the bug is highly reproducible.  Also, in many cases if
+you run XEmacs from the debugger, the debugger can protect the stack
+somewhat.  However, if the stack is being smashed, it is typically the
+case that there is a wild pointer somewhere in the program, often quite
+far from where the crash occurs.
+
+@item
+If your stack trace has exactly one frame in it, with address 0x0, this
+could simply mean that XEmacs attempted to execute code at that address,
+e.g. through jumping to a null function pointer.  Unfortunately, under
+those circumstances, GDB under Linux doesn't know how to get a stack
+trace. (Yes, this is the fourth Linux-related problem I've mentioned.  I
+have no idea why GDB under Linux is so bogus.  Complain to the GDB
+authors, or to comp.os.linux.development.system.) Again, you'll have to
+use the narrowing-down process described above.
+
+@item
+You will get a Lisp backtrace output when XEmacs crashes, so you'll have
+something useful.
+
+@end enumerate
+
+@item
+If you compile with the newer gcc variants gcc-2.8 or egcs, you will
+also need gdb 4.17 or above.  Earlier releases of gdb can't handle the
+debug information generated by the newer compilers.
+
+@item
+In versions of XEmacs before 21.2.27, @file{src/.gdbinit} was named
+@file{src/gdbinit}.  This had the disadvantage of not being sourced
+automatically by gdb, so you had to set that up yourself.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.4.6: XEmacs hangs when I try to do something.
+
+XEmacs might just be slow; some operations take a long time.  XEmacs
+may also be waiting on a response from the network, for example when
+you are trying to send mail.
+
+You can usually interrupt XEmacs by typing @kbd{C-g}.  If not (for
+example, Lisp code explicitly disabled this by setting
+@code{inhibit-quit}), you can use the "critical quit" mechanism by
+typing @kbd{Control-Shift-G}.  This should also pop you into the
+debugger and give you a backtrace, which can tell you where the
+problem is (@pxref{Q2.4.4, How to debug an XEmacs problem with a
+debugger}). (Note that setting @code{debug-on-quit} or selecting
+@samp{Options->Troubleshooting->Debug on Quit} will also cause regular
+@kbd{C-g} to enter the debugger and give you a backtrace.)
+
+If you can't interrupt XEmacs this way, or for some reason XEmacs is
+not talking to the keyboard, you can try sending the @samp{SIGINT}
+signal using the @samp{kill} command.
+
+If the Lisp backtrace isn't enlightening, or if XEmacs is so hung that
+you can't interrupt it at all, you could try attaching to the process
+and getting a C stack backtrace.  @xref{Q2.4.4, How to debug an XEmacs
+problem with a debugger}.
+
+@node Q2.4.7, Q2.4.8, Q2.4.6, Installation
+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.4.7: I get an error message when XEmacs is running in batch mode.
+
+Typically this happens when you are trying to compile some Elisp code.
+If you are doing this as part of XEmacs or the XEmacs packages, you
+should automatically get a backtrace, which can help you determine the
+source of the problem.  In other cases, you can get equivalent results
+by setting the environment variable @samp{XEMACSDEBUG} to @samp{(setq
+stack-trace-on-error t load-always-display-messages t
+load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files t load-show-full-path-in-messages
+t)} (this needs to be all on one line; to set an environment variable,
+use @samp{export XEMACSDEBUG='FOO'} under @samp{bash}, @samp{zsh},
+etc. or @samp{setenv XEMACSDEBUG 'FOO'} under @samp{csh} and
+@samp{tcsh}).  @samp{XEMACSDEBUG} specifies Lisp code that will be
+executed at startup time.
+
+If the backtrace is not sufficiently useful in helping you diagnose
+the problem, you should consider using a debugger such as GDB.
+@xref{Q2.4.4, How to debug an XEmacs problem with a debugger}.  You
+probably want to set a breakpoint on @code{signal_1}.  Since such
+errors often occur during compiling, which is often triggered by a
+complex command run from a make suite, it may be easier to attach to
+the process once it's running.
+
+Under Microsoft Windows (and perhaps other operating systems), there is
+another useful trick you can do if you have configured with debugging
+support (configure option @samp{--debug} (@samp{--with-debug} in 21.5)
+or setting @samp{DEBUG_XEMACS} in @file{nt/config.inc}).  Set the
+environment variable @samp{XEMACSDEBUG} (as described above) to
+@samp{(setq debug-on-error t)}.  Then, when an error occurs
+noninteractively, instead of trying to invoke the Lisp debugger (which
+obviously won't work), XEmacs will break out to a C debugger using
+@code{(force-debugging-signal t)}.  @emph{NOTE}: This runs
+@code{abort()}!!! (As well as and after executing INT 3 under MS
+Windows, which should invoke a debugger if it's active.) This is
+guaranteed to kill XEmacs! (But in this situation, XEmacs is about to
+die anyway, and if no debugger is present, this will usefully dump
+core.)

+First, try setting the variable @code{debug-emacs-events} to non-zero.
+This will output various information showing which events are being

+example, that a key command is getting intercepted using

+
+@kbd{C-g} does work for most people in most circumstances.  If it
+doesn't, there are two possible explanations:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+XEmacs is hung in a way that prevents @kbd{C-g} from working.  This
+can happen when code is wrapped with a binding of @code{inhibit-quit}
+to @code{t}; you should still be able interrupt XEmacs using "critical
+quit".  On the other hand, XEmacs may be seriously wedged. (If you're
+lucky, sending @samp{SIGINT} to the XEmacs process will interrupt it.) 
+@xref{Q2.4.6, XEmacs hangs when I try to do something.}.
+
+@item
+@kbd{C-g} is indeed broken on your system.  To test, try executing
+@code{(while t)} from the @samp{*scratch*} buffer.  If @kbd{C-g}
+doesn't interrupt, then it's broken.  This used to happen with systems
+where @samp{SIGIO} was broken, but @samp{BROKEN_SIGIO} wasn't defined.

+
+Under MS Windows, you can set the variable
+@code{debug-mswindows-process-command-lines} to non-@samp{nil} to get
+information on exactly what is getting passed to a process.  This can
+be useful in determining problems with quoting. (Under Unix, a process
+receives each argument separately, but under MS Windows a single
+command line is received, and arguments with spaces or other special
+characters in them must be quoted.  Unfortunately this means that each
+process, potentially at least, has its own quoting conventions, and
+the code to process quoting conventions in @file{cmd.exe}, the Visual
+C++ startup code and the like is baroque and poorly documented.
+XEmacs uses the variable
+@code{mswindows-construct-process-command-line-alist} to construct a

+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.5.6: XEmacs 21.1 on Windows used to spawn an ugly console window on every startup.  Has that been fixed?
+
+Yes.
+
+The console was there because @file{temacs} (and in turn, @file{xemacs})
+was a console application, and Windows typically creates a new
+console for a console process unless the creating process requests that
+one isn't created.  This used to be fixed with @file{runemacs}, a small
+Windows application that existed merely to start @file{xemacs}, stating
+that it didn't want a console.
+
+XEmacs 21.4 fixes this cleanly by the virtue of being a true "GUI"
+application.  The explanation of what that means is included for
+educational value.
+
+When building an application to be run in a Win32 environment, you must
+state which sub-system it is to run in.  Valid subsystems include
+"console" and "gui".  The subsystem you use affects the run time
+libraries linked into your application, the start up function that is
+run before control is handed over to your application, the entry point
+to your program, and how Windows normally invokes your program. (Console
+programs automatically get a console created for them at startup if
+their stdin/stdout don't point anywhere useful, which is the case when
+run from the GUI.  This is a stupid design, of course -- instead, the
+console should get created only when the first I/O actually occurs!
+GUI programs have an equally stupid design: When called from
+@file{CMD.EXE}/@file{COMMAND.COM}, their stdin/stdout will be set to
+point nowhere useful, even though the command shell has its own
+stdin/stdout.  It's as if someone who had learned a bit about stdio but
+had no actual knowledge of interprocess communication designed the
+scheme; unfortunately, the whole process-communication aspect of the
+Win32 API is equally badly designed.) For example, the entry point for a
+console app is "main" (which is what you'd expect for a C/C++ program),
+but the entry point for a "gui" app is "WinMain".  This confuses and
+annoys a lot of programmers who've grown up on Unix systems, where the
+kernel doesn't really care whether your application is a gui program or
+not.
+
+For reasons not altogether clear, and are lost in the mists of time and
+tradition, XEmacs on Win32 started out as a console application, and
+therefore a console was automatically created for it. (It may have been
+made a console application partly because a console is needed in some
+circumstances, especially under Win95, to interrupt, terminate, or send
+signals to a child process, and because of the bogosity mentioned above
+with GUI programs and the standard command shell.  Currently, XEmacs
+just creates and immediately hides a console when necessary, and
+works around the "no useful stdio" problem by creating its own console
+window as necessary to display messages in.)

+@unnumberedsubsec Q3.0.2: How can I bind complex functions (or macros) to keys?
+
+As an example, say you want the @kbd{paste} key on a Sun keyboard to
+insert the current Primary X selection at point. You can accomplish this
+with:
+
+@lisp
+(define-key global-map [f18] 'x-insert-selection)
+@end lisp
+
+However, this only works if there is a current X selection (the
+selection will be highlighted).  The functionality I like is for the
+@kbd{paste} key to insert the current X selection if there is one,
+otherwise insert the contents of the clipboard.  To do this you need to
+pass arguments to @code{x-insert-selection}.  This is done by wrapping
+the call in a 'lambda form:
+
+@lisp
+(global-set-key [f18]
+  (lambda () (interactive) (x-insert-selection t nil)))
+@end lisp
+
+This binds the f18 key to a @dfn{generic} functional object.  The
+interactive spec is required because only interactive functions can be
+bound to keys.
+
+For the FAQ example you could use:
+
+@lisp
+(global-set-key [(control ?.)]
+  (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-up 1)))
+(global-set-key [(control ?;)]
+  (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-up -1)))
+@end lisp
+
+This is fine if you only need a few functions within the lambda body.
+If you're doing more it's cleaner to define a separate function.

+It depends upon your X server.
+
+Generally, the simplest way is to define a key as Multi_key with
+xmodmap, e.g.
+@c hey, show some respect, willya -- there's xkeycaps, isn't there? --
+@c chr ;)
+@example
+        xmodmap -e 'keycode 0xff20 = Multi_key'
+@end example
+
+You will need to pick an appropriate keycode. Use xev to find out the
+keycodes for each key.
+
+[NB: On a `Windows' keyboard, recent versions of XFree86 automatically
+define the right `Windows' key as Multi_key'.]
+
+Once you have Multi_key defined, you can use e.g.
+@example
+        Multi a '       => á
+        Multi e "       => ë
+        Multi c ,       => ç
+@end example
+
+etc.
+
+Also, recent versions of XFree86 define various AltGr-<key>
+combinations as dead keys, i.e.
+@example
+        AltGr [         => dead_diaeresis
+        AltGr ]         => dead_tilde
+        AltGr ;         => dead_acute

+@unnumberedsubsec Q3.3.3: How do I cause typing on an active region to remove 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 @dfn{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, ensure that you have the @file{pc} package
+installed, and add the following lines to your
+@file{init.el}:
+
+@lisp
+(cond
+ ((fboundp 'turn-on-pending-delete)
+  (turn-on-pending-delete))
+ ((fboundp 'pending-delete-on)
+  (pending-delete-on t)))

+@unnumberedsubsec Q3.3.5: Why is killing so slow?
+
+This actually is an X Windows question, although you'll notice it with
+keyboard operations as well as while using the GUI.  Basically, there
+are four ways to communicate interprogram via the X server:
+
+@table @strong
+@item Primary selection
+a transient selection that gets replaced every time a new selection is made
+
+@item Secondary selection
+for "exchanging" with the primary selection
+
+@item Cut buffers
+a clipboard internal to the X server (deprecated)
+
+@item Clipboard selection
+a selection with a notification protocol that allows a separate app to
+manage the clipboard
+@end table
+
+The cut buffers are deprecated because managing them is even more
+inefficient than the clipboard notification protocol.  The primary
+selection works fine for many users and applications, but is not very
+robust under intensive or sophisticated use.
+
+In Motif and MS Windows, a clipboard has become the primary means for
+managing cut and paste.  These means that "modern" applications tend to
+be oriented toward a true clipboard, rather than the primary selection.
+(On Windows, there is nothing equivalent to the primary selection.)
+It's not that XEmacs doesn't support the simple primary selection
+method, it's that more and more other applications don't.
+
+So the slowdown occurs because XEmacs now engages in the clipboard
+notification protocol on @emph{every} kill.  This is especially slow on
+Motif.
+
+With most people running most clients and server on the same host, and
+many of the rest working over very fast communication, you may expect
+that the situation is not going to improve.
+
+There are a number of workarounds.  The most effective is to use a
+special command to do selection ownership only when you intend to paste
+to another application.  Useful commands are @code{kill-primary-selection}
+and @code{copy-primary-selection}.  These work only on text selected
+with the mouse (probably; experiment), and are bound by default to the
+@kbd{Cut} and @kbd{Copy}, respectively, buttons on the toolbar.
+@code{copy-primary-selection} is also bound to @kbd{C-Insert}.  You can
+yank the clipboard contents with @code{yank-primary-selection}, bound to
+the @kbd{Paste} toolbar button and @kbd{Sh-Insert}.
+
+If you are communicating by cut and paste with applications that use the
+primary selection, then you can customize
+@code{interprogram-cut-function} to @code{nil}, restoring the XEmacs
+version 20 behavior.  How can you tell if a program will support this?
+Motifly-correct programs require the clipboard; you lose.  For others,
+only by trying it.  You also need to customize the complementary
+@code{interprogram-paste-function} to @code{nil}.  (Otherwise
+XEmacs-to-XEmacs pastes will not work correctly.)
+
+You may get some relief on Motif by setting
+@code{x-selection-strict-motif-ownership} to nil, but this means you will
+only intermittently be able to paste XEmacs kills to Motif applications.
+

+
+The package @code{cl-indent} that comes with XEmacs sets up this kind

+In 21.4 and above, you can use the @samp{Options} menu to change the font.
+You can also do it in your init file, e.g. like this (for MS Windows):

 @example

-        Multi e "       => ë
-        Multi c ,       => ç

+Emacs*menubar*font:           fixed

+This is confusing because @samp{default} and @samp{modeline} are face
+names, and can be found listed with all faces in the current mode by
+using @kbd{M-x set-face-font (enter) ?}.  They use the face-specific
+resource @samp{attributeFont}.
+
+On the other hand, @samp{menubar} is a normal X thing that uses the
+resource @samp{font}.  With Motif it @emph{may be} necessary to use
+@samp{fontList} @emph{instead of} @samp{font}.  In @emph{non-Motif}

-If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist restrictions
-prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in
-@file{/usr/spool/mail}, you may need to make @code{movemail} setgid to a
-suitable group such as @samp{mail}.  You can use these commands (as
-root):
+@samp{xemacs -name} sets the application name for the program (that is,
+the thing which normally comes from @samp{argv[0]}).  Using @samp{-name}
+is the same as making a copy of the executable with that new name.  The
+@code{WM_CLASS} property on each frame is set to the frame-name, and the
+application-class.  So, if you did @samp{xemacs -name FOO} and then
+created a frame named @var{BAR}, you'd get an X window with WM_CLASS =
+@code{( "BAR", "Emacs")}.  However, the resource hierarchy for this
+widget would be:
 
 @example
-chgrp mail movemail
-chmod 2755 movemail
+Name:    FOO   .shell             .container   .BAR
+Class:   Emacs .TopLevelEmacsShell.EmacsManager.EmacsFrame

-The installed copy of @code{movemail} is usually in the directory

-For mh-e use the following:

+We consider such a move counter-productive, thus we do not use the
+@samp{w32} prefix. (His rather questionable justification was that he
+did not consider Windows to be a "winning" platform.) However, the name
+@samp{Win32} is not particularly descriptive outside the Windows world,
+and using just @samp{windows-} would be too generic.  So we chose a
+compromise, the prefix @samp{mswindows-} for Windows-related variables
+and functions.
 
-There is a long, well-written, detailed section in the W3 manual that
-describes how to do this.  Look in the section entitled "Firewalls".
+Thus all the XEmacs variables and functions directly related to either
+the Windows GUI or OS are prefixed @samp{mswindows-} (except for a
+couple of debugging variables, prefixed @samp{debug-mswindows-}).  From
+an architectural perspective, however, we believe that this is mostly a
+non-issue because there should be a very small number of
+window-systems-specific variables anyway.  Whenever possible, we try to
+provide generic interfaces that apply to all window systems.

-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.
+There are a large number of common (in the sense that "everyone has
+these, they really do") Unix utilities that are not provided with
+XEmacs.  The GNU Project's implementations are available for Windows in

+provides a complete Unix emulation environment (and thus makes ports of
+Unix utilities nearly trivial).  Another implementation is that from
+MinGW (@uref{http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml}).  If you know of others,
+please let us know!
 
-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

-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

-Four types of menubars are provided:
 @enumerate
 @item
-An extensive menubar providing access to global InfoDock commands.
+Download the @file{rebase} utility from Cygwin setup (it's under
+@samp{System}).
 @item
-Mode-specific menubars tailored to the current major mode.
+Kill @strong{all} of your Cygwin processes, including all of your
+shells and all background processes.  Use @code{ps -a} to list all the
+processes you need to kill.
 @item
-A simple menubar for basic editing to help novices get started with InfoDock.
+From a DOS prompt, run @file{ash} (@strong{not} @file{bash},
+@file{tcsh} or @file{zsh}).  Do not try to be clever and @code{exec
+/bin/ash} from your last shell; it won't work.
 @item
-The standard XEmacs menubar.
+Type @code{/bin/rebaseall -v}.
 @end enumerate
 
-Most modes also include mode-specific popup menus.  Additionally, region and
-rectangle popup menus are included.
+The problem should now be fixed -- at least, until you install another
+Cygwin package with DLL's, in which case you may have to repeat the
+procedure.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q7.2.1: What are bignums, ratios, and bigfloats in Lisp?
+
+Thanks to @email{james@@xemacs.org, Jerry James}, XEmacs 21.5.18 and
+later can use the capabilities of multiple-precision libraries that may
+be available for your platform.  The GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) and
+BSD Multiple Precision (MP) libraries are partially supported.  GMP
+gives you @dfn{bignums} (arbitrary precision integers), @dfn{ratios}
+(arbitrary precision fractions), and @dfn{bigfloats} (arbitrary
+precision floating point numbers).  GNU MP is better-supported by XEmacs
+at the time of writing (2004-04-06).  BSD MP support does not include
+ratios or bigfloats, and it throws errors that aren't understood.
+
+In most cases, bignum support should be transparent to users and Lisp
+programmers.  A bignum-enabled XEmacs will automatically convert from
+fixnums to bignums and back in pure integer arithmetic, and for GNU MP,
+from floats to bigfloats.  (Bigfloats must be explicitly coerced to
+other types, even if they are exactly representable by less precise
+types.)  The Lisp reader and printer have been enhanced to handle
+bignums, as have the mathematical functions.  Rationals (fixnums,
+bignums, and ratios) are printed using the @samp{%d}, @samp{%o},
+@samp{%x}, and @samp{%u} format conversions.  The read syntax for ratios
+is @samp{3/5}.
+
+User-visible changes in behavior include (in probable order of annoyance)
+
+@itemize
 @item
-Create 48x48x1 bitmap with your favorite tool
+Arithmetic can cause a segfault, depending on your MP library
+@ref{Q7.2.2, XEmacs segfaults when I use very big numbers!}.
 
 @item
-Convert to "icon" format using one of xbm2ikon, pbmtoicon, etc.,
-and then compile the face.
+Terminology is not Common-Lisp-conforming.  For example, ``integer'' for
+Emacs Lisp means what Common Lisp calls ``fixnum''.  This issue is being
+investigated, but the use of ``integer'' for fixnum is pervasive and may
+cause backward-compatibility and GNU-Emacs-compatibility problems.
 
 @item
-@example
-cat file.xbm | xbm2ikon |compface > file.face
-@end example
+Many operations that used to cause a range error now succeed, with
+intermediate results and return values coerced to bignums as needed.
 
 @item
-Then be sure to quote things that are necessary for emacs strings:
-
-@example
-cat ./file.face | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g'
-@iftex
-\ @*
-@end iftex
-| sed 's/\"/\\\"/g' > ./file.face.quoted
-@end example
+An atom with ratio read syntax now returns a number, not a symbol.
 
 @item
-Then set up emacs to include the file as a mail header - there were a
-couple of suggestions here---either something like:
+The @samp{%u} format conversion will now give an error if its argument
+is negative.  (Without MP, it prints a number which Lisp can't read.)
+@end itemize
 
-@lisp
-(setq  mail-default-headers
-       "X-Face:  @email{Ugly looking text string here}")
-@end lisp
+@emph{Surgeon General's Warning}: The automatic conversions cannot be
+disabled at runtime.  New functions have been added which produce
+ratios, so there should be few surprises with type conflicts, but they
+can't be ruled out.  ``Arbitrary'' precision means precisely what it
+says.  If you work with extremely large numbers, your machine may
+arbitrarily decide to hand you an unpleasant surprise rather than a
+bignum @ref{Q7.2.2, XEmacs segfaults when I use very big numbers!}.
 
-Or, alternatively, as:
+To configure with GNU MP, add @samp{--use-number-lib=gmp}
+(@samp{--enable-bignum=gmp} in 21.5 or later) to your invocation of
+@file{configure}.  For BSD MP, use @samp{--use-number-lib=mp}
+(@samp{--enable-bignum=mp} for 21.5).

-Some versions of pbmtoicon produces some header lines that is not

-include a @code{tail +3} in the pipeline like this:
+GMP by default allocates temporaries on the stack.  If you run out of
+stack space, you're dead; there is no way that we know of to reliably
+detect this condition, because @samp{alloca} is typically implemented to
+be @emph{fast} rather than robust.  If you just need a little more
+oomph, use a bigger stack (@emph{e.g.}, the @file{ulimit -s} command in
+bash(1)).  If you want robustness at the cost of speed, configure GMP
+with @samp{--disable-alloca} and rebuild the GMP library.
 
-@example
-cat file.xbm | xbm2ikon | tail +3 |compface > file.face
-@end example
+We do not know whether BSD MP uses @samp{alloca} or not.  Please send

+@key{RET}}), which will give us platform information.  (We do know that
+BSD MP implementations vary across vendors, but how much, we do not know
+yet.)
 
-Some people have also found that if one uses the @code{(insert-file)}

+AUCTeX is a complex and sophisticated editing package dedicated to TeX

+@node Q8.1.3, Q8.2.1, Q8.1.2, Other Packages
+@unnumberedsubsec Q8.1.3: Is there a MatLab mode?
 
-One is what we call the "X" port---it requires X libraries to build
-and an X server to run.  Internally it uses the Xt event loop and
-makes use of X toolkits.  Its look is quite un-Windowsy, but it works
-reliably and supports all of the graphical features of Unix XEmacs.
+Yes, a matlab mode and other items are available at the
+@uref{http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/files/104/matlab.el}.
 
-The other is what we call the "native" port.  It uses the Win32 API
-and does not require X libraries to build, nor does it require an X to
-run.  In fact, it has no connection with X whatsoever.  At this time,
-the native port obsoletes the X port, providing almost all of its
-features, including support for menus, scrollbars, toolbars, embedded
-images and background pixmaps, frame pointers, etc.  Most of the
-future work will be based on the native port.
+@unnumberedsec 8.2: Environments Built Around XEmacs
 
-There is also a third special case, the Cygwin port.  It takes
-advantage of Cygnus emulation library under Win32, which enables it to
-reuse much of the Unix XEmacs code base, such as processes and network
-support, or internal select() mechanisms.
+@node Q8.2.1, Q8.2.2, Q8.1.3, Other Packages
+@unnumberedsubsec Q8.2.1: What are SPARCworks, EOS, and WorkShop?
 
-Cygwin port supports all display types---TTY, X & MS gui, and can be
-built with support for all three.  If you build with ms gui support
-then the Cygwin version uses the majority of the msw code, which is
-mostly related to display.  If you want to build with X support you
-need X libraries.  If you want to build with tty support you need
-ncurses.  MS gui requires no additional libraries.
+SPARCworks was a development environment from Sun (circa 1993-1996)
+and consisted of compilers (C, C++, FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, Ada, and
+Pascal), a debugger, and other tools such as TeamWare (for
+configuration management), MakeTool, etc.
 
-Some of the advantages of the Cygwin version are that it:
+EOS is the integration of XEmacs with the SPARCworks debugger.  It
+allows one to use an XEmacs frame to view code (complete with
+fontification, etc.), set breakpoints, print variables, etc., while
+using the SPARCworks debugger.
 
-@itemize @bullet
+EOS stands for "Era on SPARCworks"; Era stood for "Emacs Rewritten
+Again" and was the name used by Sun for its modified version of Lucid
+Emacs (later XEmacs) in the early-mid 90's.  This is documented in
+more detail in the history section of the XEmacs About page.
 
-@item integrates well with Cygwin environment for existing Cygwin users;
-@item uses configure so building with different features is very easy;
-@item has process support in X & tty.
+EOS was replaced around 1996 with a newer graphical development
+environment called Sun WorkShop.  The current status of this is
+unknown.

+@node Q8.2.2, Q8.2.3, Q8.2.1, Other Packages
+@unnumberedsubsec Q8.2.2: How do I start the Sun Workshop support in XEmacs 21?
 
-The disadvantage is that it requires several Unix utilities and the
-whole Cygwin environment, whereas the native port requires only a
-suitable MS Windows compiler.  Also, it follows the Unix filesystem and
-process model very closely (some will undoubtedly view this as an
-advantage).

-look for "Where to get an X server".  Also note that, although the above
-page talks about Cygnus gnu-win32 (Cygwin), the information on X servers
-is Cygwin-independent.  You don't have to be running/using Cygwin to use
-these X servers, and you don't have to compile XEmacs under Cygwin to
-use XEmacs with these X servers.  An "X port" XEmacs compiled under

-@node Q6.1.3, Q6.1.4, Q6.1.2, MS Windows
-@unnumberedsubsec Q6.1.3: How do I compile for the native port?
+@uref{http://sourceforge.net/projects/infodock/, InfoDock} is an
+integrated productivity toolset, mainly aimed at technical people,
+hosted at SourceForge.
 
-Please read the file @file{nt/README} in the XEmacs distribution, which
-contains the full description.
+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.
 
-@node Q6.1.4, Q6.1.5, Q6.1.3, MS Windows
-@unnumberedsubsec Q6.1.4: How do I compile for the X port?
+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.
 
-Again, it is described in @file{nt/README} in some detail.  Basically, you
-need to get X11 libraries from ftp.x.org, and compile them.  If the
-precompiled versions are available somewhere, I don't know of it.
+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 @samp{Manual} item which displays
+documentation associated with the menu's functions.

+@samp{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.
 
-@item
-CYGWIN32 needs to be set to tty for process support
-work. e.g. CYGWIN32=tty;
+The @samp{OO-Browser}, a multi-language object-oriented code browser, is a
+standard part of InfoDock.
 
-@item
-picking up some other grep or other unix like tools can kill configure;
+InfoDock saves a more extensive set of user options than other Emacs
+versions.
 
-@item
-static heap too small, adjust src/sheap-adjust.h to a more positive
-number;
+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.
 
-@item
-The Cygwin version doesn't understand @file{//machine/path} type paths so you

-Fortunately, Emacs is also one of the most configurable editor beasts
-in the world.  The MS Windows "look and feel" (mark via shift-arrow,
-self-inserting deletes region, etc.) can be easily configured via
-various packages distributed with XEmacs.  The `pending-delete'

+21.4 was the "stable" version of the 21.2 series, which was considered
+"experimental" throughout its life; thus there were no "official"
+releases at all.  In essence, XEmacs is now following the "alternating"
+scheme of Linux, where at any point there are at least two different
+development branches, one "stable" and one "experimental".  Periodic
+releases happen in both branches, but those in the experimental branch
+are not tested as well, and there's no guarantee they will work at all.
+The experiemental branch is open to any and all code that's acceptable
+to the developers; the stable branch, however, is in general limited
+only to bug fixes, and all contributions are carefully reviewed to make
+sure they will increase and not decrease stability.
 
+21.3 never existed at all; it was decided to follow the Linux scheme
+exactly, where odd-numbered series are experimental and even-numbered
