Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask whether statement from book about xemacs is true.
Recently I have read "Linux Programmers Toolbox" and quote from it:
"Xemacs was a fork of Emacs, but now it seems these two programs have
merged into one big happy executable"
Online reviews of the book note that the author is heavy on VI and
light on Emacs. This remark by the author is a further indication
that he doesn't really know what is going on in the world of Emacs.
While the book has gotten good reviews, I take this as a sign that any
mention of Emacs in the book should be taken with a grain of salt.
But on site http://www.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsVsGNUemacs.html
I have found:
[snip quote]
I would like to know the truth, what this "difference" is
all about.
In what way did XEmacsVsGNUemacs.html fail to answer your questions
about the difference?
