1526 He wrote `savehist' and `htmlize' packages, the latter having a pretty
1527 large gathering of users. He worked to improve many parts of XEmacs
1528 Lisp code, including isearch (FSF synch and new features), cl, edmacro
1529 \(FSF synch and an almost complete rewrite), profile, gnuserv,
1530 hyper-apropos, etags, about, and custom.

1532 He has worked on improving and optimizing the C core. He ported many
1533 FSF core features such as indirect buffers, tty-erase-char,
1534 save-current-buffer and friends, debug-ignored-errors, etc. He also
1535 wrote line numbering optimizations for large buffers, initial support
1536 for TTY frames, abbrev improvements, Lisp printer and reader
1537 improvements, support for extent modification functions, and lots of
1538 minor bugfixes, optimizations, and Muleifications.

1541 section on writing Mule-compliant C code. Maintains NEWS. He
