Various fixes to frame geometry to make it a bit easier to understand
and fix some bugs.
1. IMPORTANT: Some renamings. Will need to be applied carefully to
the carbon repository, in the following order:
-- pixel_to_char_size -> pixel_to_frame_unit_size
-- char_to_pixel_size -> frame_unit_to_pixel_size
-- pixel_to_real_char_size -> pixel_to_char_size
-- char_to_real_pixel_size -> char_to_pixel_size
-- Reverse second and third arguments of change_frame_size() and
change_frame_size_1() to try to make functions consistent in
putting width before height.
-- Eliminate old round_size_to_char, because it didn't really
do anything differently from round_size_to_real_char()
-- round_size_to_real_char -> round_size_to_char; any places that
called the old round_size_to_char should just call the new one.
2. IMPORTANT FOR CARBON: The set_frame_size() method is now passed
sizes in "frame units", like all other frame-sizing functions,
rather than some hacked-up combination of char-cell units and
total pixel size. This only affects window systems that use
"pixelated geometry", and I'm not sure if Carbon is one of them.
MS Windows is pixelated, X and GTK are not. For pixelated-geometry
systems, the size in set_frame_size() is in displayable pixels
rather than total pixels and needs to be converted appropriately;
take a look at the changes made to mswindows_set_frame_size()
method if necessary.
3. Add a big long comment in frame.c describing how frame geometry
works.
4. Remove MS Windows-specific character height and width fields,
duplicative and unused.
5. frame-displayable-pixel-* and set-frame-displayable-pixel-*
didn't use to work on MS Windows, but they do now.
6. In general, clean up the handling of "pixelated geometry" so
that fewer functions have to worry about this. This is really
an abomination that should be removed entirely but that will
have to happen later. Fix some buggy code in
frame_conversion_internal() that happened to "work" because it
was countered by oppositely buggy code in change_frame_size().
7. Clean up some frame-size code in toolbar.c and use functions
already provided in frame.c instead of rolling its own.
8. Fix check_frame_size() in window.c, which formerly didn't take
pixelated geometry into account.

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. |
