commit mega-patch
configure.in: Turn off -Winline and -Wchar-subscripts.
Use the right set of cflags when compiling modules.
Rewrite ldap configuration to separate the inclusion of lber
(needed in recent Cygwin) from the basic checks for the
needed libraries.
add a function for MAKE_JUNK_C; initially code was added to
generate xemacs.def using this, but it will need to be rewritten.
add an rm -f for junk.c to avoid weird Cygwin bug with cp -f onto
an existing file.
Sort list of auto-detected functions and eliminate unused checks for
stpcpy, setlocale and getwd.
Add autodetection of Cygwin scanf problems
BETA: Rewrite section on configure to indicate what flags are important
and what not.
digest-doc.c, make-dump-id.c, profile.c, sorted-doc.c: Add proper decls for main().
make-msgfile.c: Document that this is old junk.
Move proposal to text.c.
make-msgfile.lex: Move proposal to text.c.
make-mswin-unicode.pl: Convert error-generating code so that the entire message will
be seen as a single unrecognized token.
mule/mule-ccl.el: Update docs.
lispref/mule.texi: Update CCL docs.
ldap/eldap.c: Mule-ize.
Use EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2 instead of deleted EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP.
* XEmacs 21.5.18 "chestnut" is released.
---------------------------------------------------------------
MULE-RELATED WORK:
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
byte-char conversion
---------------------------
buffer.c, buffer.h, insdel.c, text.c: Port FSF algorithm for byte-char conversion, replacing broken
previous version. Track the char position of the gap. Add
functions to do char-byte conversion downwards as well as upwards.
Move comments about algorithm workings to internals manual.
---------------------------
work on types
---------------------------
alloc.c, console-x-impl.h, dump-data.c, dump-data.h, dumper.c, dialog-msw.c, dired-msw.c, doc.c, editfns.c, esd.c, event-gtk.h, event-msw.c, events.c, file-coding.c, file-coding.h, fns.c, glyphs-eimage.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-shared.c, glyphs-x.c, glyphs.c, glyphs.h, gui.c, hpplay.c, imgproc.c, intl-win32.c, lrecord.h, lstream.c, keymap.c, lisp.h, libsst.c, linuxplay.c, miscplay.c, miscplay.h, mule-coding.c, nas.c, nt.c, ntheap.c, ntplay.c, objects-msw.c, objects-tty.c, objects-x.c, print.c, process-nt.c, process.c, redisplay.h, select-common.h, select-gtk.c, select-x.c, sgiplay.c, sound.c, sound.h, sunplay.c, sysfile.h, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, unexnt.c, win32.c, xgccache.c: Further work on types. This creates a full set of types for all
the basic semantics of `char' that I have so far identified, so that
its semantics can always be identified for the purposes of proper
Mule-safe code, and the raw use of `char' always avoided.
(1) More type renaming, for consistency of naming.
Char_ASCII -> Ascbyte
UChar_ASCII -> UAscbyte
Char_Binary -> CBinbyte
UChar_Binary -> Binbyte
SChar_Binary -> SBinbyte
(2) Introduce Rawbyte, CRawbyte, Boolbyte, Chbyte, UChbyte, and
Bitbyte and use them.
(3) New types Itext, Wexttext and Textcount for separating out
the concepts of bytes and textual units (different under UTF-16
and UTF-32, which are potential internal encodings).
(4) qxestr*_c -> qxestr*_ascii.
lisp.h: New; goes with other qxe() functions. #### Maybe goes in a
different section.
lisp.h: Group generic int-type defs together with EMACS_INT defs.
lisp.h: * lisp.h (WEXTTEXT_IS_WIDE)
New defns.
lisp.h: New type to replace places where int occurs as a boolean.
It's signed because occasionally people may want to use -1 as
an error value, and because unsigned ints are viral -- see comments
in the internals manual against using them.
dynarr.c: int -> Bytecount.
---------------------------
Mule-izing
---------------------------
device-x.c: Partially Mule-ize.
dumper.c, dumper.h: Mule-ize. Use Rawbyte. Use stderr_out not printf. Use wext_*().
sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c: New Wexttext API for manipulation of external text that may be
Unicode (e.g. startup code under Windows).
emacs.c: Mule-ize. Properly deal with argv in external encoding.
Use wext_*() and Wexttext. Use Rawbyte.
#if 0 some old junk on SCO that is unlikely to be correct.
Rewrite allocation code in run-temacs.
emacs.c, symsinit.h, win32.c: Rename win32 init function and call it even earlier, to
initialize mswindows_9x_p even earlier, for use in startup code
(XEUNICODE_P).
process.c: Use _wenviron not environ under Windows, to get Unicode environment
variables.
event-Xt.c: Mule-ize drag-n-drop related stuff.
dragdrop.c, dragdrop.h, frame-x.c: Mule-ize.
text.h: Add some more stand-in defines for particular kinds of conversion;
use in Mule-ization work in frame-x.c etc.
---------------------------
Freshening
---------------------------
intl-auto-encap-win32.c, intl-auto-encap-win32.h: Regenerate.
---------------------------
Unicode-work
---------------------------
intl-win32.c, syswindows.h: Factor out common options to MultiByteToWideChar and
WideCharToMultiByte. Add convert_unicode_to_multibyte_malloc()
and convert_unicode_to_multibyte_dynarr() and use. Add stuff for
alloca() conversion of multibyte/unicode.
alloc.c: Use dfc_external_data_len() in case of unicode coding system.
alloc.c, mule-charset.c: Don't zero out and reinit charset Unicode tables. This fucks up
dump-time loading. Anyway, either we load them at dump time or
run time, never both.
unicode.c: Dump the blank tables as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION, MOSTLY MULE-RELATED:
---------------------------------------------------------------
EmacsFrame.c, emodules.c, event-Xt.c, fileio.c, input-method-xlib.c, mule-wnnfns.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-tty.c, redisplay-x.c, regex.c, sysdep.c: Add comment about Mule work needed.
text.h: Add more documentation describing why DFC routines were not written
to return their value. Add some other DFC documentation.
console-msw.c, console-msw.h: Add pointer to docs in win32.c.
emacs.c: Add comments on sources of doc info.
text.c, charset.h, unicode.c, intl-win32.c, intl-encap-win32.c, text.h, file-coding.c, mule-coding.c: Collect background comments and related to text matters and
internationalization, and proposals for work to be done, in text.c
or Internals manual, stuff related to specific textual API's in
text.h, and stuff related to internal implementation of Unicode
conversion in unicode.c. Put lots of pointers to the comments to
make them easier to find.
s/mingw32.h, s/win32-common.h, s/win32-native.h, s/windowsnt.h, win32.c: Add bunches of new documentation on the different kinds of
builds and environments under Windows and how they work.
Collect this info in win32.c. Add pointers to these docs in
the relevant s/* files.
emacs.c: Document places with long comments.
Remove comment about exiting, move to internals manual, put
in pointer.
event-stream.c: Move docs about event queues and focus to internals manual, put
in pointer.
events.h: Move docs about event stream callbacks to internals manual, put
in pointer.
profile.c, redisplay.c, signal.c: Move documentation to the Internals manual.
process-nt.c: Add pointer to comment in win32-native.el.
lisp.h: Add comments about some comment conventions.
lisp.h: Add comment about the second argument.
device-msw.c, redisplay-msw.c: @@#### comments are out-of-date.
---------------------------------------------------------------
PDUMP WORK (MOTIVATED BY UNICODE CHANGES)

Properly implement dump_add_root_block(), which never worked before,
and is necessary for dumping Unicode tables.
Pdump name changes for accuracy:
XD_STRUCT_PTR -> XD_BLOCK_PTR.
XD_STRUCT_ARRAY -> XD_BLOCK_ARRAY.
XD_C_STRING -> XD_ASCII_STRING.
*_structure_* -> *_block_*.
lrecord.h: some comments added about
dump_add_root_block() vs dump_add_root_block_ptr().
extents.c: remove incorrect comment about pdump problems with gap array.
---------------------------------------------------------------

LIFO order.
lisp.h, text.c, text.h: Factor out some stuff for general use by alloca()-conversion funs.
text.h, lisp.h: Fill out convenience routines for allocating various kinds of
bytes and put them in lisp.h. Use them in place of xmalloc(),
ALLOCA().
text.h: Fill out the convenience functions so the _MALLOC() kinds match
the alloca() kinds.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR-CHECKING
---------------------------------------------------------------
text.h: Create ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII() and ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN()
from similar Eistring checkers and change the Eistring checkers to
use them instead.
---------------------------------------------------------------
MACROS IN LISP.H
---------------------------------------------------------------
lisp.h: Redo GCPRO declarations. Create a "base" set of functions that can
be used to generate any kind of gcpro sets -- regular, ngcpro,
nngcpro, private ones used in GC_EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2.
buffer.c, callint.c, chartab.c, console-msw.c, device-x.c, dialog-msw.c, dired.c, extents.c, ui-gtk.c, rangetab.c, nt.c, mule-coding.c, minibuf.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar.c, menubar-gtk.c, lread.c, lisp.h, gutter.c, glyphs.c, glyphs-widget.c, fns.c, fileio.c, file-coding.c, specifier.c: Eliminate EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP, which does not check for circularities.
Use EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2 instead or EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_3

will be overridden by my other ws.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIX FOR LEAKING PROCESS HANDLES:
---------------------------------------------------------------
process-nt.c: Fixes for leaking handles. Inspired by work done by Adrian Aichner
<adrian@xemacs.org>.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FIX FOR CYGWIN BUG (Unicode-related):
---------------------------------------------------------------
unicode.c: Add workaround for newlib bug in sscanf() [should be fixed by
release 1.5.12 of Cygwin].

Factor out some redundant init code. Move disallowed stuff
that had crept into vars_of_glyphs() into complex_vars_of_glyphs().
Call init_eval_semi_early() from eval.c not in the middle of
vars_of_() in emacs.c since there should be no order dependency
in the latter calls.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ARMAGEDDON:
---------------------------------------------------------------
alloc.c, emacs.c, lisp.h, print.c: Rename inhibit_non_essential_printing_operations to
inhibit_non_essential_conversion_operations.
text.c: Assert on !inhibit_non_essential_conversion_operations.
console-msw.c, print.c: Don't do conversion in SetConsoleTitle or FindWindow to avoid
problems during armageddon. Put #errors for NON_ASCII_INTERNAL_FORMAT
in places where problems would arise.
---------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES TO THE BUILD PROCEDURE:
---------------------------------------------------------------
config.h.in, s/cxux.h, s/usg5-4-2.h, m/powerpc.h: Add comment about correct ordering of this file.
Rearrange everything to follow this -- put all #undefs together
and before the s&m files. Add undefs for HAVE_ALLOCA, C_ALLOCA,
BROKEN_ALLOCA_IN_FUNCTION_CALLS, STACK_DIRECTION. Remove unused
HAVE_STPCPY, HAVE_GETWD, HAVE_SETLOCALE.
m/gec63.h: Deleted; totally broken, not used at all, not in FSF.
m/7300.h, m/acorn.h, m/alliant-2800.h, m/alliant.h, m/altos.h, m/amdahl.h, m/apollo.h, m/att3b.h, m/aviion.h, m/celerity.h, m/clipper.h, m/cnvrgnt.h, m/convex.h, m/cydra5.h, m/delta.h, m/delta88k.h, m/dpx2.h, m/elxsi.h, m/ews4800r.h, m/gould.h, m/hp300bsd.h, m/hp800.h, m/hp9000s300.h, m/i860.h, m/ibmps2-aix.h, m/ibmrs6000.h, m/ibmrt-aix.h, m/ibmrt.h, m/intel386.h, m/iris4d.h, m/iris5d.h, m/iris6d.h, m/irist.h, m/isi-ov.h, m/luna88k.h, m/m68k.h, m/masscomp.h, m/mg1.h, m/mips-nec.h, m/mips-siemens.h, m/mips.h, m/news.h, m/nh3000.h, m/nh4000.h, m/ns32000.h, m/orion105.h, m/pfa50.h, m/plexus.h, m/pmax.h, m/powerpc.h, m/pyrmips.h, m/sequent-ptx.h, m/sequent.h, m/sgi-challenge.h, m/symmetry.h, m/tad68k.h, m/tahoe.h, m/targon31.h, m/tekxd88.h, m/template.h, m/tower32.h, m/tower32v3.h, m/ustation.h, m/vax.h, m/wicat.h, m/xps100.h: Delete C_ALLOCA, HAVE_ALLOCA, STACK_DIRECTION,
BROKEN_ALLOCA_IN_FUNCTION_CALLS. All of this is auto-detected.

.TH XEMACS 1 "2000-09-20" .UC 4 .SH NAME xemacs \- Emacs: The Next Generation .SH SYNOPSIS .B xemacs [ .I command-line switches ] [ .I files ... ] .br .SH DESCRIPTION .I XEmacs is a version of .IR Emacs , compatible with and containing many improvements over .I GNU .IR Emacs , written by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation. It was originally based on an early release of .I GNU Emacs Version .IR 19 , and has tracked subsequent releases of .I GNU Emacs as they have become available. .PP The primary documentation of .I XEmacs is in the .I XEmacs Reference .IR Manual , which you can read on-line using Info, a subsystem of .IR XEmacs . Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. Complete documentation on using Emacs Lisp is available on-line through the .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's .IR Manual . Both manuals also can be printed out nicely using the .I TeX formatting package. .PP The user functionality of .I XEmacs encompasses everything other .I Emacs editors do, and it is easily extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp. .PP .I XEmacs has an extensive interactive help facility, but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate .I XEmacs windows and buffers. CTRL-h enters the Help facility. Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) requests an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners the fundamentals of .I XEmacs in a few minutes. Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you find a command given its functionality, Help Key Binding (CTRL-h k) describes a given key sequence's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) describes a given Lisp function specified by name. You can also look up key sequences in the .I XEmacs Reference Manual using Lookup Key Binding (CTRL-h CTRL-k), and look up Lisp functions in the .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's Manual using Lookup Function (CTRL-h CTRL-f). All of these help functions, and more, are available on the Help menu if you are using a window system. .PP .I XEmacs has extensive GUI (graphical user interface) support when running under a window system such as .IR X , including multiple frames (top-level windows), a menubar, a toolbar, horizontal and vertical scrollbars, dialog boxes, and extensive mouse support. .PP .I XEmacs has full support for multiple fonts and colors, variable-width fonts, and variable-height lines, and allows for pixmaps to be inserted into a buffer. (This is used in the W3 web-browsing package and in some of the debugger and outlining interfaces, among other things.) .PP .IR XEmacs 's Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is easy to recover from editing mistakes. .PP .IR XEmacs 's many special packages handle mail reading (VM, MH-E and RMail) and sending (Mail), Usenet news reading and posting (GNUS), World Wide Web browsing (W3), specialized modes for editing source code in all common programming languages, syntax highlighting for many languages (Font-Lock), compiling (Compile), running subshells within .I XEmacs windows (Shell), outline editing (Outline), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), and automated psychotherapy (Doctor). .PP There is an extensive reference manual, but users of other Emacsen should have little trouble adapting even without a copy. Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features. .PP .SM XEmacs Options .PP XEmacs accepts all standard X Toolkit command line options when run in an X Windows environment. In addition, the following options are accepted (when options imply a sequence of actions to perform, they are performed in the order encountered): .TP 8 .BI \-t " file" Use specified .I file as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout. This implies .BR \-nw \. .TP .BI \-batch Edit in batch mode. The editor will send messages to stdout. You must use the .BR \-l , .BR \-f , and .B \-eval options to specify files to execute and functions to call. .TP .B \-nw Inhibit the use of any window-system-specific display code: use the current TTY. .TP .B \-debug\-init Enter the debugger if an error occurs loading the init file. .TP .B \-unmapped Do not map the initial frame. .TP .B \-no\-site\-file Do not load the site-specific init file (site-start.el). .TP .B \-q, \-no\-init\-file Do not load an init file. .TP .B \-no-early-packages Do not process the early packages. .TP .B \-vanilla Load no extra files at startup. Equivalent to the combination of .B \-q , .B \-no-site-file , and .B \-no-early-packages \. .TP .BI \-u " user, " \-user " user" Load .IR user 's init file. .TP 8 .I file Edit .IR file \. .TP .BI \+ number Go to the line specified by .I number (do not insert a space between the "+" sign and the number). .TP .B \-help Print a help message and exit. .TP .B \-V, \-version, Print the version number and exit. .TP .BI \-f " function, " \-funcall " function" Execute the lisp function .IR function \. .TP .BI \-l " file, " \-load " file" Load the Lisp code in the file .IR file \. .TP .BI \-eval " form" Evaluate the Lisp form .IR form \. .TP .BI \-i " file, " \-insert " file" Insert .I file into the current buffer. .TP .B \-kill Exit .I XEmacs (useful with .BR \-batch ). .PP .SM Using XEmacs with X Windows .PP .I XEmacs has been tailored to work well with the X window system. If you run .I XEmacs from under X windows, it will create its own X window to display in. .PP .I XEmacs can be started with the following standard X options: .TP .BI \-visual " <visualname><bitdepth>" Select the visual that XEmacs will attempt to use. .I <visualname> should be one of the strings "StaticColor", "TrueColor", "GrayScale", "PseudoColor" or "DirectColor", and .I <bitdepth> should be the number of bits per pixel (example, "-visual TrueColor24" for a 24bit TrueColor visual) See .IR X (1) for more information. .TP .B -privateColormap Require XEmacs to create and use a private colormap for display. This will keep XEmacs from taking colors from the default colormap and keeping them from other clients, at the cost of causing annoying flicker when the focus changes. Use this option only if your X server does not support 24 bit visuals. .TP .BI \-geometry " ##x##+##+##" Specify the geometry of the initial window. The ##'s represent a number; the four numbers are width (characters), height (characters), X offset (pixels), and Y offset (pixels), respectively. Partial specifications of the form .I ##x## or .I +##+## are also allowed. (The geometry specification is in the standard X format; see .IR X (1) for more information.) .TP .B \-iconic Specifies that the initial window should initially appear iconified. .TP 8 .BI \-name " name" Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up defaults in the user's X resources. .TP .BI \-title " title, " \-T " title, " \-wn " title" Specifies the title which should be assigned to the .I XEmacs window. .TP .BI \-d " displayname, " \-display " displayname" Create the .I XEmacs window on the display specified by .IR displayname . Must be the first option specified in the command line. .TP .BI \-font " font, " \-fn " font" Set the .I XEmacs window's font to that specified by .IR font \. You will find the various .I X fonts in the .I /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory. .I XEmacs works with either fixed- or variable-width fonts, but will probably look better with a fixed-width font. .TP .BI \-scrollbar\-width " pixels" Specify the width of the vertical scrollbars. .TP .BI \-scrollbar\-height " pixels" Specify the height of the horizontal scrollbars. .TP .BI \-bw " pixels, " \-borderwidth " pixels" Set the .I XEmacs window's border width to the number of pixels specified by .IR pixels \. Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window. .TP .BI \-ib " pixels, " \-internal\-border\-width " pixels" Specify the width between a frame's border and its text, in pixels. Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window. .TP .BI \-fg " color, " \-foreground " color" Sets the color of the text. See the file .I /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt for a list of valid color names. .TP .BI \-bg " color, " \-background " color" Sets the color of the window's background. .TP .BI \-bd " color, " \-bordercolor " color" Sets the color of the window's border. .TP .BI \-mc " color" Sets the color of the mouse pointer. .TP .BI \-cr " color" Sets the color of the text cursor. .TP .B \-rv, \-reverse Reverses the foreground and background colors (reverse video). Consider explicitly setting the foreground and background colors instead of using this option. .TP .BI \-xrm " argument" This allows you to set an arbitrary resource on the command line. .I argument should be a resource specification, as might be found in your .I \.Xresources or .I \.Xdefaults file. .PP You can also set resources, i.e. .I X default values, for your .I XEmacs windows in your .I \.Xresources or .I \.Xdefaults file (see .IR xrdb (1)). Use the following format: .IP Emacs.keyword:value .PP or .IP Emacs*EmacsFrame.keyword:value .PP where .I value specifies the default value of .IR keyword \. (Some resources need the former format; some the latter.) .PP You can also set resources for a particular frame by using the format .IP Emacs*framename.keyword:value .PP where .I framename is the resource name assigned to that particular frame. (Certain packages, such as VM, give their frames unique resource names, in this case "VM".) .PP .I XEmacs lets you set default values for the following keywords: .TP 8 .B default.attributeFont (\fPclass\fB Face.AttributeFont) Sets the window's text font. .TP .B default.attributeForeground (\fPclass\fB Face.AttributeForeground) Sets the window's text color. .TP .B default.attributeBackground (\fPclass\fB Face.AttributeBackground) Sets the window's background color. .TP .B \fIface\fB.attributeFont (\fPclass\fB Face.AttributeFont) Sets the font for .IR face , which should be the name of a face.

The complete text of the .I XEmacs Reference Manual and the .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's Manual is included in a convenient tree structured form. /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/info - the Info files may be here instead. /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/lisp/* - Lisp source files and compiled files that define most editing commands. The files are contained in subdirectories, categorized by function or individual package. Some are preloaded; others are autoloaded from these directories when used. /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/etc - some files of information, pixmap files, other data files used by certain packages, etc. /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/$CONFIGURATION - various programs that are used with XEmacs. /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/$CONFIGURATION/DOC - contains the documentation strings for the Lisp primitives and preloaded Lisp functions of \fIXEmacs\fP. They are stored here to reduce the size of \fIXEmacs\fP proper. /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp - locally-provided Lisp files. .PP .SH BUGS AND HELP There is a newsgroup, comp.emacs.xemacs, for reporting .I XEmacs bugs and fixes and requesting help. But before reporting something as a bug, please try to be sure that it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or a deliberate feature. We ask you to read the section ``Reporting XEmacs Bugs'' near the end of the reference manual (or Info system) for hints on how and when to report bugs. Also, include the version number of the .I XEmacs you are running and the system you are running it on in \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in. Finally, the more you can isolate the cause of a bug and the conditions it happens under, the more likely it is to be fixed, so please take the time to do so. The newsgroup is bidirectionally gatewayed to and from the mailing list xemacs@xemacs.org. You can read the list instead of the newsgroup if you do not have convenient Usenet news access. To request to be added to the mailing list, send mail to xemacs-request@xemacs.org. (Do not send mail to the list itself.) The .I XEmacs maintainers read the newsgroup regularly and will attempt to fix bugs reported in a timely fashion. However, not every message will get a response from one of the maintainers. Note that there are many people other than the maintainers who read the newsgroup, and will usually be of assistance in helping with any problems encountered. If you need more personal assistance than can be provided by the newsgroup, look in the SERVICE file (see above) for a list of people who offer it. For more information about XEmacs mailing lists, see the file /usr/local/lib/xemacs-$VERSION/etc/MAILINGLISTS. .SH UNRESTRICTIONS .PP .I XEmacs is free; anyone may redistribute copies of .I XEmacs to anyone under the terms stated in the .I XEmacs General Public License, a copy of which accompanies each copy of .I XEmacs and which also appears in the reference manual. .PP Copies of .I XEmacs may sometimes be received packaged with distributions of Unix systems, but it is never included in the scope of any license covering those systems.

It was based on an early version of .I GNU Emacs Version .IR 19 , written by Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org> of the Free Software Foundation, and has tracked subsequent releases of .I GNU Emacs as they have become available. It was originally written by Lucid, Inc. (now defunct) and was called .I Lucid .IR Emacs \. .PP Chuck Thompson wrote the .I XEmacs redisplay engine, maintains the .I XEmacs FTP and WWW sites, and has put out all releases of .I XEmacs since 19.11 (the first release called .IR XEmacs ). Ben Wing wrote the Asian-language support, the on-line documentation (including this man page and much of the FAQ), the external widget code, and retooled or rewrote most of the basic, low-level .I XEmacs subsystems. Jamie Zawinski put out all releases of .I Lucid .IR Emacs , from the first (19.0) through the last (19.10), and was the primary code contributor for all of these releases. Richard Mlynarik rewrote the .I XEmacs Lisp-object allocation system, improved the keymap and minibuffer code, and did the initial synching of .I XEmacs with .I GNU Emacs Version .IR 19 \. .PP Many others have also contributed significantly.
