xemacs-faq.texi: Major rewrite.
Update all MS Windows info to current.
Redo section 6.1 almost completely.
Incorporate sections 1 and 2 of Hrvoje's FAQ.
etags.el: Fix infloop when going up to the root.
s\cygwin32.h: Don't unilaterally include ntplay, but only when we're compiling
with native sound (look in configure now).
event-msw.c: Fix yet more problems with C-g handling.
Implement debug-mswindows-events.
event-stream.c, events.h, signal.c, sysdep.h:
Rearrange the signal-handling code to eliminate the former
spaghetti logic paths in it. Document clearly what
"low-level" and "high-level" timeouts are. Rename some
functions with unclear names (e.g. "...alarm...") to names
that reflect what they actually do (e.g. "...async_timeout...").
Fix numerous bugs discovered in the process.
console-x.h, event-Xt.c, event-msw.c, frame-x.c:
Hopefully make XEmacs properly maintain the "iconified"
state on frames at all times. This should fix the "can't
delete a frame with C-x 5 0 when there's another iconified
frame out there" bug.
Put a notice in of further changes that should probably
be made to clean up the frame-visibility support.
(especially directed at Jan Vroonhof)
lisp.h, miscplay.c:
Rename SBufbyte to CBufbyte to avoid a misleading name.
Eliminate UChar, which is not used anywhere and contributes
no semantic info. Add a comment about the documentation-only
properties of the char/unsigned char typedefs. Add
SChar_Binary as an explicitly `signed' version of Char_Binary
and put back the `signed' declarations in miscplay.c.
alloc.c:
Use char typedefs.
console-msw.c, device-msw.c, dialog-msw.c, editfns.c, fileio.c, glyphs-eimage.c, menubar-msw.c, ntplay.c, objects-msw.c, realpath.c, redisplay-msw.c, select-msw.c, syswindows.h, win32.c:
Eliminate numerous C++ errors.
frame-msw.c:
Eliminate numerous C++ errors and Mule-ize.
glyphs-msw.c:
Eliminate numerous C++ errors and use char typedefs.
configure.in:
Fix problems detecting both native and Linux sound on Cygwin
when compiled with --with-msw=no.
Rearrange file-coding handling a bit to avoid warning when
compiling with Mule.
configure.in, configure.usage, INSTALL:
Document XEMACS_CC and corresponding compiler option --xemacs-compiler.
Explain how to build xemacs using a C++ compiler.

| 428 | 1 The files in this directory contain source code for the XEmacs |
| 2 facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and | |
| 3 *.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el | |
| 4 files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent. | |

| 6 #### Someone please update this. | |

| 8 bogus> When XEmacs starts up, it adds all subdirectories of the | |
| 9 bogus> site-lisp directory. The site-lisp directory normally exists | |
| 10 bogus> only in installation trees. For more information about the | |
| 11 bogus> site-lisp directory see the NEWS file. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 bogus> After XEmacs adds all subdirectories of the site-lisp | |
| 14 bogus> directory, it adds all subdirectories of this directory to the | |
| 15 bogus> load-path (the list of directories to be searched when loading | |
| 16 bogus> files.) To speed up this process, this directory has been | |
| 17 bogus> rearranged to have very few files at the top-level, so that | |
| 18 bogus> emacs doesn't have to stat() several hundred files to find the | |
| 19 bogus> dozen or so which are actually subdirectories. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to | |
| 22 bogus> the default load-path. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might | |
| 25 reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your | |
| 26 site. The files which may appear at top level are: | |
| 27 | |
| 28 paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here, | |
| 29 but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is | |
| 30 dumped. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 site-init.el To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump | |
| 33 them in the executable, load them from this file. | |
| 34 Read the instructions in this file for a description | |
| 35 of how to do this. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 site-load.el This is like site-init.el, but if you want the | |
| 38 docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in | |
| 39 the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should | |
| 40 load them from this file instead. To do this, you must | |
| 41 also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is | |
| 42 generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and | |
| 43 rerunning configure. | |
| 44 | |
| 45 site-start.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the | |
| 46 user's .emacs file. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 default.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the | |
| 49 user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable | |
| 50 inhibit-default-init to t. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 version.el This contains the version information for XEmacs. |
