if (...) ABORT(); ---> assert();
More specifically:
if (x == y) ABORT (); --> assert (x != y);
if (x != y) ABORT (); --> assert (x == y);
if (x > y) ABORT (); --> assert (x <= y);
etc.
if (!x) ABORT (); --> assert (x);
if (x) ABORT (); --> assert (!x);
DeMorgan's Law's applied and manually simplified:
if (x && !y) ABORT (); --> assert (!x || y);
if (!x || y >= z) ABORT (); --> assert (x && y < z);
Checked to make sure that assert() of an expression with side
effects ensures that the side effects get executed even when
asserts are disabled, and add a comment about this being a
requirement of any "disabled assert" expression.
* depend:
* make-src-depend:
* make-src-depend (PrintDeps):
Fix broken code in make-src-depend so it does what it was always
supposed to do, which was separate out config.h and lisp.h and
all the files they include into separate variables in the
depend part of Makefile so that quick-build can turn off the
lisp.h/config.h/text.h/etc. dependencies of the source files, to
speed up recompilation.

| 1648 | 7 XEmacs provides several mail-reading packages. Each one comes with |
| 8 its own manual, which is included in each package. | |
| 0 | 9 |
| 10 The recommended mail-reading package for new users is VM. VM works | |
| 11 with standard Unix-mail-format folders and was designed as a replacement | |
| 12 for the older Rmail. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 XEmacs also provides a sophisticated and comfortable front-end to the | |
| 1648 | 15 MH mail-processing system, called @samp{MH-E}. Unlike in other |
| 0 | 16 mail programs, folders in MH are stored as file-system directories, |
| 17 with each message occupying one (numbered) file. This facilitates | |
| 18 working with mail using shell commands, and many other features of | |
| 19 MH are also designed to integrate well with the shell and with | |
| 1648 | 20 shell scripts. Keep in mind, however, that in order to use MH-E |
| 0 | 21 you must have the MH mail-processing system installed on your |
| 22 computer. | |
| 23 | |
| 1648 | 24 The @dfn{Everything including the kitchen sink} package @samp{Gnus} is |
| 25 also available as an XEmacs package. Gnus also handles Usenet articles | |
| 26 as well as mail. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 @samp{MEW} (Messaging in the Emacs World) is another mail-reading | |
| 29 package available for XEmacs. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Finally, XEmacs provides the Rmail package. Rmail is (currently) | |
| 32 the only mail reading package distributed with FSF GNU Emacs, and is | |
| 33 powerful in its own right. However, it stores mail folders in a | |
| 34 special format called @samp{Babyl}, that is incompatible with all | |
| 35 other frequently-used mail programs. A utility program is provided | |
| 36 for converting Babyl folders to standard Unix-mail format; however, | |
| 37 unless you already have mail in Babyl-format folders, you should | |
| 38 consider using Gnus, VM, or MH-E instead. |
