This is a modification of the answer that I just gave you on comp.emacs.xemacs. Tony Kerz writes: The latest released version is 20.4. 21.2 is an alpha version. Don't use it. Especially if you have never used XEmacs before. Just download and build 20.4. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-20.4 In fact, there is a prebuilt binary for AIX. If you actually want to be a beta tester, I would suggest downloading 21.0 first, since it is more stable, and needs as many people as possible to beat on it, so that it can be released soon. -- Colin
