I estimated that what with the lack of any XEmacs-specific information on a rarely manifesting bug dealt with by a non-XEmacs developer, you would realize that it would take at least 10 days to do the necessary research, and have a bit of patience. Since you are in a hurry, my answer is "I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about; I simply don't recall any such report. If you would give us test cases and information about versions and configurations of XEmacs so that we can replicate the bug with the version in question, then we can probably get back to you about current status, including exploring various configurations that might be relevant and whether it has been solved or can easily be solved in XEmacs---in about a week. If we have to do all that research, it'll be several weeks, if it happens at all." You're certainly welcome to promote GNU Emacs at the expense of XEmacs in your announcement; I've encouraged you to do that in the past, as I see no constituency (aside from maybe poor Uwe Brauer, who works his butt off) for preview-latex among XEmacs users. Alternatively, you can tell your users to do their part by making a fuss about the bugs that bite them on XEmacs channels. But please leave the XEmacs developers' attitude out of it; we would be quite happy to help your XEmacs users if there were evidence that they want it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
