XEmacs 21.0-b47/pre4 "Uzbek Black" is released

sb> The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp sb> site. Package documentation? ./README, ./INSTALL, and ./etc/PACKAGES are all pretty unhelpful about the care and feeding of packages, even from the point of view of a site admin, let alone a developer. I think a change of this magnitude deserves mention in README, along with the support for Windows platforms. Although a careful reading of ./INSTALL will reveal the differences between "packages" such as NAS and JPEG, and "packages" such as xemacs-base and w3, I don't think that distinction is made plainly enough in that file. Lumping Lisp packages in general with "initial Lisp" also tends to obscure things IMO. ./INSTALL doesn't give a recommendation where packages should normally be installed. The info documentation on packages is rather terse, and mostly useful for the developer. Although it says installation is easy, it doesn't say that it's as easy as `tar xvzf'. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +1 (298) 53-5091
