Point of View" 'italic) " (quite outdated)\n At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name of XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++ development environment. Rather than invent (and force our users to learn) a new user interface, we chose to build part of our environment on top of the world's best editor, GNU Emacs. (Though our product is commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free software, and is useful in its own right.) We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions, multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a buffer have been modified, and many other features. For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons in buffers, `undo' did not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and merge their attributes in the way we needed, and several other things. We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed (and, in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since the FSF planned to include Epoch-like features in their version 19, we decided that our efforts would be better spent improving Emacs 19 instead of Epoch. Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be incorporated into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling conflicts arose, and we found that, given the amount of work still remaining to be done, we didn't have the time or manpower to do the level of coordination that would be necessary to get our changes accepted by the FSF. Consequently, we released our work as a forked branch of Emacs, instead of delaying any longer. Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF version is better in some areas, and worse in others, as reflects the differing focus of our development efforts. We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and merging in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate; we do not plan to discard any of the functionality that we implemented which RMS has chosen not to include in his version. Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have been ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in this direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner and more extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger between the two branches would be far easier by merging the FSF changes into our version than the other way around. We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge in the remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not yet have. Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same thing. Work is being done on a compatibility package which will allow Epoch 4 code to run in XEmacs with little or no change.\n\n" (about-with-face "The Sun Microsystems, Inc. Point of View" 'italic) "\n Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was going to be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out. v19 development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it seemed that it was not moving at all. In the meantime other people gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware Emacsen. The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18. Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor. (This group is now known as DevPro. It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed in mid-1994.) They contracted with the University of Illinois to provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch. UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code. In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with UofI) Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the Version 19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out. At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and got a v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19. After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and Sun) that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of both Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that Sun was asking from the University of Illinois on top of this integrated platform. Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both actively supported XEmacs as part of their product suite and invested a comparable amount of effort into it. Substantial portions of the current code have originated under the support of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid for by Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know that Sun was supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it. Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid Emacs, starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code. The separate code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of Illinois were merged, allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from that point on. Sun originally called the integrated product ERA, for \"Emacs Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid eventually came to an agreement to find a name for the product that was not specific to either company. An additional constraint that Lucid placed on the name was that it must contain the word \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not acceptable. The tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this has been the name of the program since version 19.11.) As of 1997, Sun is shipping XEmacs as part of its Developer Products integrated programming environment \"Sun WorkShop\". Sun is continuing to support XEmacs development, with focus on internationalization and quality improvement.\n\n" (about-with-face "Lucid goes under" 'italic) "\n Around mid-'94, Lucid went out of business. Lucid founder Richard Gabriel's book \"Patterns of Software\", which is highly recommended reading in any case, documents the demise of Lucid and suggests lessons to be learned for the whole software development community. Development on XEmacs, however, has continued unabated under the auspices of Sun Microsystems and the University of Illinois, with help from Amdahl Corporation and INS Engineering Corporation. Sun plans to continue to support XEmacs into the future.\n\n" (about-with-face "The Amdahl Corporation point of view" 'italic) "\n Amdahl Corporation's Storage Products Group (SPG) uses XEmacs as the focal point of a environment for development of the microcode used in Amdahl's large-scale disk arrays, or DASD's. SPG has joint ventures with Japanese companies, and decided in late 1994 to contract out for work on XEmacs in order to hasten the development of Mule support \(i.e. support for Japanese, Chinese, etc.) in XEmacs and as a gesture of goodwill towards the XEmacs community for all the work they have done on making a powerful, modern, freely available text editor. Through this contract, Amdahl provided a large amount of work in XEmacs in the form of rewriting the basic text-processing mechanisms to allow for Mule support and writing a large amount of the support for multiple devices. Although Amdahl is no longer hiring a full-time contractor, they are still funding part-time work on XEmacs and providing resources for further XEmacs development.\n\n" (about-with-face "The INS Engineering point of view" 'italic) "\n INS Engineering Corporation, based in Tokyo, bought rights to sell Energize when Lucid went out of business.
