Re: XEmacs on NT: Personal experience

Hrvoje> I've found an NT to try XEmacs on, and played with it continually for Hrvoje> about three hours. Thanks Fabrice for making it possible. Hrvoje> First, I'd like to congratulate all of the Windows developers for an Hrvoje> EXCELLENT piece of work. I don't say this to flatter you, or as a Hrvoje> prologue to start pointing out deficiencies. This is true. XEmacs on Hrvoje> Windows *rules*. I almost feel I could be able to work on Windows! I completely agree. I built my first native xemacs on NT this week, and in fact built my first one with X this evening. Pretty slick setting the display and being able to see it pop on my Sun. Hrvoje> * The toolbars are ugly black-and-white, with the ugly-looking Hrvoje> captions. However, my XEmacs does appear to have XPM support (I was Hrvoje> able to see gnus.xpm properly). Does anyone have a clue why this is Hrvoje> so? I haven't gotten xpm compiled for NT (X or native ) yet. X should be easy, but native is confusing me. Anybody got a quick n' dirty makefile for xpm on nt native? Hrvoje> * When you click on a menu (through menubar or button3), clicking Hrvoje> *outside* the menu is "seen" by XEmacs, and it changes the value of Hrvoje> point. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. It's somewhat Hrvoje> disconcerting to me, and it doesn't happen under Unix (the Hrvoje> mouseclick just unselects the menu). i think i've seen this too. Hrvoje> P.S. Hrvoje> I don't know what Geoff Voelker's NT Emacs looks like, but XEmacs Hrvoje> looks like it will kick ass. :-) well, it pretty much is comparable to the way FSF Emacs looks like compared to XEmacs. jeff
