hi there, please remove flabes(a)eurem.de from Your mailinglist since he left our company tia Joachim Orth Admin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-xemacs-announce(a)xemacs.org [mailto:owner-xemacs-announce＠xemacs.org]Im Auftrag von Vin Shelton Gesendet: Samstag, 5. August 2000 17:53 An: xemacs-announce(a)xemacs.org Betreff: XEmacs 21.1 (patch 12) "Channel Islands" Has Been Released XEmacs 21.1.12 "Channel Islands" is available from ftp.xemacs.org. Get it from: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.12.tar.gz -or- ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.12.tar.bz2 These are the core distribution without bytecompiled lisp and without processed texinfo manuals. (You only need one of these two files: the .bz2 file has been compressed with bzip2 and is therefore smaller than the .gz file, which has been compressed with gzip.) If you are on a fast machine with a possibly slow connection to the FTP site, one of these tarballs is all you need for the base XEmacs. Untar it, run 'configure', then run `make' and `make install'. Note that you will still need the XEmacs packages. Please see the file README.packages in the root of the source directory. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.12-elc.tar.gz This tarball is the bytecompiled lisp of all the lisp (.el) files included in the above tarball. Bytecompiling all of XEmacs Lisp included in this tarball takes only a few minutes on a machine with any speed at all, so this file is not strictly necessary. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.12-info.tar.gz This tarball is the processed texinfo manuals. If you have makeinfo installed and your machine has any kind of decent speed, it is quicker to run `make info' from the toplevel and rebuild it yourself than it is to download and untar it. Note that GNU texinfo-3.12 or later is required. A patch to upgrade from XEmacs 21.1.11 is also available: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.11-21.1.12.patch.gz After applying the patch, please run the command 'touch configure' in order to make sure 'configure' is newer than 'configure.in'. XEmacs-21.1 is the stable branch of XEmacs. As such, only bugfix submissions are allowed into these releases. The major fix in this release allows a user to fetch the package list from xemacs.org or a mirror site (see Adrian Aichner's fix below). Here is the list of the significant bugfixes in this release: From: "Stephen J.
