Am I actually the only person running Carbon XEmacs?
Choi is, too. Maybe you can charm him back into joining XEmacs.
I'm trying not to interpret your answer as, "if your
existing 10.5-
compiled binary ever stops working, your only option will be to switch
to RMSmacs", but I fear that that's what you just said. I'm crying,
here. Big sad tears.
Well, you could do the occasional work to keep Carbon XEmacs running on the
platform you care about yourself. Choi abandoned GNU Emacs too, and they’ve
no-one who really knows about Carbon either on board, as far as I can tell,
but they’ve managed to keep it running, I don’t believe much work would be
needed for us.
That said, I was going to say “Carbon on 64-bit will work, they’re not
stupid enough to abandon Photoshop”, but it turns out that, yes, to my
surprise, they’re stupid enough to abandon Photoshop. 31-bit fixnums would
seem to be what you’re stick with. (We have bignums now, btw; ./configure
--with-bignum=gmp .)

precipitadamente de la aldea por culpa de la escasez de rinocerontes?
