0 +Snapshot+ XEmacs 20.3 , formerly Lucid Emacs 19.10, developed by Jamie
Zawinski , now maintained by Chuck Thompson, is derived from GNU Emacs
version 19. 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. The latest version is
available for ftp from the canonical distribution point:
ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs
