w3 on native-build mswindows 26 years, 3 months

Jonathan Harris

The enclosed patch against package version 1.06 of w3 makes w3 mostly work on the native mswindows build of XEmacs. The patched function url-basepath has actually changed since 1.06 so this patch won't apply, but that's OK beause I'm really just asking for advice. The problem that the patch fixes is that w3 calls XEmacs path handling functions on URL paths. That doesn't work under mswindows because these path handling functions convert path separators into '\\' because that is the native path separator on Win32. The attached patch replaces two occurrences in url-basename of such calls with manual string-matches. There are a lot more calls to XEmacs path handling functions in w3. Many of these calls are fine on mswindows because they're being called on local pathnames of files. Probably there are other calls where the pathname in question is actually the pathname component of a URL, and these will break on mswindows. Is there any structuring in the w3 files that will enable me to go about identifying all such calls that will break, or do I really have to examine _every_ single call to XEmacs path handling functions? Alternatively, is there a better approach than manually replacing selective calls to XEmacs path handling functions with string matches?

Mauro Condarelli

Just a quickie the splash screen still says: Copyright (C) 1985-1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc ^^^^ ... since we are about to release, shouldn't that be bumped up?? Mauro P.S.: is there a way to have the splash in a real buffer? When i try to copy it, it just vanishes :-? Best Regards Mauro Condarelli

package to add: greedy-delete 26 years, 4 months

Greg Klanderman

Steve, While you're adding packages, can you add greedy-delete too? I looked on Barry's web site below but there's no greedy delete there... I'll cc him and see if he's got a more recent version. thanks greg ;;; greedy-delete.el --- minor mode for a better backspace ;; Copyright (C) 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; Author: 1997 Barry A.

Fix for comint.el 26 years, 4 months

Barry A. Warsaw

This patch for comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom is still necessary in XEmacs 21.0, I suspect because the fundamental recenter bug reported against 20.4 still exists. Without this patch, running a program that outputs stuff in the *shell* window past the bottom of the buffer, leaves point in the middle of the buffer and the prompt past the bottom. -Barry -------------------- snip snip -------------------- *** comint.el 1998/07/31 16:20:05 1.1 --- comint.el 1998/07/31 16:21:26 1.2 *************** *** 1527,1534 **** 1)) (t -1)) ! window ! ))) )))) nil t)))) --- 1527,1534 ---- 1)) (t -1)) ! window) !

Stuff in Emacs 20.2 missing in XEmacs -- autorevert.el 26 years, 4 months

SL Baur

I've gotten an offline request for autorevert.el. A quick scan of this file reveals that it is using timers. Has anyone used this with XEmacs? Does it work out-of-the-box with Kyle's timer.el?

Jareth is thinking about how to implement it, I believe. Something that has come up again in other comments, is the matter of "Why don't you include library sources and build them before building XEmacs?" This would be a maintenance nightmare, IMO and make development of XEmacs all but impossible on slow machines (slow == anything less than a Pentium II >300MHz). For the most part, libraries must be rebuilt every year or so, if that often. They don't need to be rebuilt every time XEmacs is rebuilt. I've been thinking about the problem of bootstrapping all of XEmacs on a naked system containing only basic X11 and it's giving me severe headaches. Especially since I haven't yet thrown in the required Mule libraries and components Canna, Wnn4.2 and Kinput2.
