Pre-compiled binaries are available for most popular platforms; the reader is encouraged to check-out the XEmacs home-page for details about the specific files to retrive. The XEmacs FAQ is available at: www.xemacs.org/FAQ/index.html Some of XEmacs' popular features include: * TTY (dumb terminal) support (includes face support); * built-in toolbar and support to many packages; * the ability to embed pixmaps (glyphs) of arbitrary size in a buffer; * use of variable width fonts; * on a machine with audio hardware, XEmacs can play sound files instead of the default X beep; * embedding an X window in a buffer in the same way as a pixmap; external programs (such as GhostScript, or an MPEG player) can then render arbitrary graphics on that window.
