[My apologies to those on xemacs-beta who will see this twice, and to Dr. Zell, for taking so long to get around to forwarding this. Also, note that M-x report-xemacs-bug is still appropriate if you think it is an XEmacs bug; this is not a forked version, just one configured for the Cygwin environment. Use your judgement as to which list is appropriate for bug reports or discussion, and in some cases it will make sense to send to both. -- Stephen Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; --] Hi The package XEmacs is now available with the Cygwin distribution: * http://xemacs.org/ (Homepage) * http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/pub/ (Download location) See the following announcements for XEmacs lisp packages and packages which will handle conflicts between the emacs and ctags package. DESCRIPTION: ============ XEmacs is a powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and application development system, with full GUI support. It is protected under the GNU Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in particular GNU Emacs. Its emphasis is on modern graphical user interface support and an open software development model, similar to Linux. XEmacs has an active development community numbering in the hundreds (and thousands of active beta testers on top of this), and runs on all versions of MS Windows, on Linux, and on nearly every other version of Unix in existence. Support for XEmacs has been supplied by Sun Microsystems, University of Illinois, Lucid, ETL/Electrotechnical Laboratory, Amdahl Corporation, BeOpen, and others, as well as the unpaid time of a great number of individual developers. CYGWIN version: =============== This version of XEmacs can be used in an X and native Windows environment. If the DISPLAY variable is set the X version is used, when unset the native Windows version is used.
