APA> Does Slackware come with a correctly packaged XEmacs? Surprisingly, yes it does. Although it's a pretty old version (21.1.something) and it is installed in /usr/share I think. But aside from that Pat Volkerding (Slackware God) did a pretty good job in putting it together. There are two versions to choose from, Mule and non-Mule and both are installed with Sumo. Now, keep in mind that it's been a _very_ long time since I've looked at the way Pat puts XEmacs together. Things may have changed. APA> Distros seem to screw up XEmacs by twisting some subtle installation APA> features into it, as witnessed recently on comp.emacs.xemacs. Pat likes to keep everything as close to the way they are designed to be. Not like some other distro's I could mention, you know the guys who wear those stupid hats, the red ones. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
