Q1.0.11: Is there a port of XEmacs to the Macintosh?
----------------------------------------------------
- There has been a port to the MachTen environment of XEmacs 19.13,
-but no patches have been submitted to the maintainers to get this in the
-mainstream distribution.
-
- For the MacOS, there is a port of Emacs 18.59
-(ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/parmet/).
+ Yes, there is a port of XEmacs 19.14, tested on MacOS 7.6.1 and MacOS
+8.5.1 by Pitts Jarvis <pjarvis@ispchannel.com>. It's available at
+`http://my.ispchannel.com/~pjarvis/xemacs.html'.

integers are the same. Byte code compiled under any version 19
Emacs will have all such functions mapped to their `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
code". For example, the character `A' is represented as the
integer 65, following the standard ASCII representation of
characters. If XEmacs was not compiled with MULE support, the

truncated; however, you should most decidedly _not_ rely on this,
because it will not work under XEmacs with MULE support.) When
However, menubar localization _does_ work, even in 19.14. To enable
it, add to your `Emacs' file entries like this:
- Emacs*XlwMenu.resourceLabels: True
- Emacs*XlwMenu.file.labelString: Fichier
- Emacs*XlwMenu.openInOtherWindow.labelString: In anderem Fenster offnen
+ Emacs*XlwMenu.resourceLabels: True
+ Emacs*XlwMenu.file.labelString: Fichier
+ Emacs*XlwMenu.openInOtherWindow.labelString: In anderem Fenster offnen
The name of the resource is derived from the non-localized entry by
removing punctuation and capitalizing as above.
(cond ((boundp 'MULE)
;; for original Mule
)
- ((string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)

;; for old emacs variants
)

-Q1.4.7: How come options saved with 19.13 don't work with 19.14 or later?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

- (add-spec-list-to-specifier (face-property 'searchm-field 'font)
- '((global (nil))))

- saved by a 19.13 XEmacs that causes a 19.14 XEmacs grief. You must

-options directly to `.emacs' which should allow us to deal with version
-incompatibilities better in the future.
-
- Options saved under XEmacs 19.13 are protected by code that
-specifically requires a version 19 XEmacs. This won't be a problem
-unless you're using XEmacs v20. You should consider changing the code

+2.0: Installation
+=================
+
+Q2.0.1: Running XEmacs without installing
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ The `INSTALL' file says that up to 108 MB of space is needed
+temporarily during installation! How can I just try it out?
+
+ 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.
+
+ A good method is to make a shell alias for xemacs:
+
+ alias xemacs=/i/xemacs-20.2/src/xemacs
+
+ (You will obviously use whatever directory you downloaded the source
+tree to instead of `/i/xemacs-20.2').
+
+ This will let you run XEmacs without massive copying.
