+" (quite outdated)\n
+At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name of
+XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++ development
+environment.  Rather than invent (and force our users to learn) a new
+user interface, we chose to build part of our environment on top of
+the world's best editor, GNU Emacs.  (Though our product is
+commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free software, and is
+useful in its own right.)
+We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions, multiple
+fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as read-only, the
+ability to detect which parts of a buffer have been modified, and many
+other features.
+For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it
+did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons in buffers, `undo' did
+not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and merge
+their attributes in the way we needed, and several other things.
+We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed (and,
+in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since the FSF
+planned to include Epoch-like features in their version 19, we decided
+that our efforts would be better spent improving Emacs 19 instead of
+Epoch.
+Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be incorporated
+into the \"official\" v19.  However, scheduling conflicts arose, and
+we found that, given the amount of work still remaining to be done, we
+didn't have the time or manpower to do the level of coordination that
+would be necessary to get our changes accepted by the FSF.
+Consequently, we released our work as a forked branch of Emacs,
+instead of delaying any longer.
+Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta version of
+the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released.  The FSF version is better in
+some areas, and worse in others, as reflects the differing focus of
+our development efforts.
+We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and merging
+in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate; we
+do not plan to discard any of the functionality that we implemented
+which RMS has chosen not to include in his version.
+Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have been
+ported to the FSF version.  We have not been doing work in this
+direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner and more
+extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger between the two
+branches would be far easier by merging the FSF changes into our
+version than the other way around.
+We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge in the
+remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not yet have.
+Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same thing.  Work is
+being done on a compatibility package which will allow Epoch 4 code to
+run in XEmacs with little or no change.\n\n"
+(about-with-face "The Sun Microsystems, Inc. Point of View"
+		      'italic)
+"\n
+Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time.  Version 19 was
+supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support.  It was going to
+be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember
+hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out.  v19
+development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it
+seemed that it was not moving at all.  In the meantime other people
+gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware
+Emacsen.  The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came
+from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.
+Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems
+Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor.  (This group is now
+known as DevPro.  It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed
+in mid-1994.)  They contracted with the University of Illinois to
+provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch.
+UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code.
+In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with UofI)
+Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated
+environment with an integrated editor.  Lucid decided that the Version
+19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use
+Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free
+Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out.
+At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways.  Lucid kept working and
+got a v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.
+After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and Sun)
+that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of both
+Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that Sun was asking
+from the University of Illinois on top of this integrated platform.
+Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both actively supported XEmacs as part of
+their product suite and invested a comparable amount of effort into
+it.  Substantial portions of the current code have originated under
+the support of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid
+for by Sun.  This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later
+was made available to them.  Initially Lucid didn't know that Sun was
+supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.
+Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid Emacs,
+starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code.  The separate
+code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of Illinois were merged,
+allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from that point on.
+Sun originally called the integrated product ERA, for \"Emacs
+Rewritten Again\".  SunPro and Lucid eventually came to an agreement
+to find a name for the product that was not specific to either
+company.  An additional constraint that Lucid placed on the name was
+that it must contain the word \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not
+acceptable.  The tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this
+has been the name of the program since version 19.11.)
+As of 1997, Sun is shipping XEmacs as part of its Developer Products
+integrated programming environment \"Sun WorkShop\".  Sun is
+continuing to support XEmacs development, with focus on
+internationalization and quality improvement.\n\n"
+(about-with-face "Lucid goes under" 'italic)
+"\n
+Around mid-'94, Lucid went out of business.  Lucid founder Richard
+Gabriel's book \"Patterns of Software\", which is highly recommended
+reading in any case, documents the demise of Lucid and suggests
+lessons to be learned for the whole software development community.
+Development on XEmacs, however, has continued unabated under the
+auspices of Sun Microsystems and the University of Illinois, with help
+from Amdahl Corporation and INS Engineering Corporation.  Sun plans to
+continue to support XEmacs into the future.\n\n"

+Amdahl Corporation's Storage Products Group (SPG) uses XEmacs as the
+focal point of a environment for development of the microcode used in
+Amdahl's large-scale disk arrays, or DASD's.  SPG has joint ventures
+with Japanese companies, and decided in late 1994 to contract out for
+work on XEmacs in order to hasten the development of Mule support
+\(i.e. support for Japanese, Chinese, etc.) in XEmacs and as a gesture
+of goodwill towards the XEmacs community for all the work they have
+done on making a powerful, modern, freely available text editor.
+Through this contract, Amdahl provided a large amount of work in
+XEmacs in the form of rewriting the basic text-processing mechanisms
+to allow for Mule support and writing a large amount of the support
+for multiple devices.
+Although Amdahl is no longer hiring a full-time contractor, they are
