Sorry, I got behind on moderation, and just released a bunch of
messages that are a couple of weeks old. They've already been dealt
with.
Reminder: HTML mail is a red flag for spam on XEmacs channels (HTML
messages currently run about 300:1 spam:ham). If you send HTML mail,
expect long delays for your mail to appear.

What does the argument list in C-h f delete-duplicates mean?
9 years, 5 months

Hello, XEmacs.
When I do C-h f delete-duplicates, the resulting text starts off:
`delete-duplicates' is a built-in function
-- loaded from "/home/acm/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs/src/sequence.c"
(delete-duplicates SEQUENCE &key (TEST #'eql) (KEY #'identity) (START 0) END FROM-END TEST-NOT)
. What does this mean? In particular, I have never seen parenthesised
expressions, such as "(TEST #'eql)" inside an argument list before. The
XEmacs manual (page "Name Help") doesn't explain this. Are TEST, KEY
and START some sort of optional parameters, or what?
Thanks for the elucidation!

(I've copied xemacs-beta as that is the medium for communication among
the XEmacs developers and maybe someone else will want to chime in.)
I don't really understand your points; I'll explain the situation as I see it:
1. I am currently making Windows installation kits. Those kits are
built with VS6. The Windows Installation kits, at least in part
thanks to your prodding/encouragement, are an ongoing activity. I
generally create a new installation kit with each update to the 21.5
development branch.
2. If someone else wants to build Windows Installation kits using a
different version of Visual Studio (or a different toolchain
altogether), he or she is welcome to work through the issues
necessary. I am happy to advise/help in that effort, but I do not
currently have a copy of VS2012 or VS2013, so my advise will be
somewhat theoretical in nature. You (or whoever else wants to take
this on) will have to roll up your sleeves and struggle with various
issues (manifest files among them).
Whether or not XEmacs is serious and alive, is, IMO, in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks for the bug report on paren highlighting. Since you narrowed
the failure down to the menu, I will take a look at that.
- Vin
