The key word is "multiuser." Many people even run multiple sessions because Gnus (in particular) is such a pig as long as XEmacs isn't multithreaded. Also, you might be surprised by how much junk is getting pulled in by autoloads just starting up; there might be a lot more stuff that justifies being dumped. But you're right that it's questionable whether it's worth developer time at this point. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
