EMACS has been being developed for over 20 years or something. It's really evident that they've done everything they can do, especially now since EMACS is hardly even considered a text editor anymore, but a true operating system (as a joke of course.) Text editors aren't really on the cutting edge of development. This became true when it became possible to read net.news and mail, along with chat on IRC and talk to eliza, the computerized psychotherapist, using EMACS. I'd say the emacs guys have run out of things to implement. If I were them, I'd concentrate on GNU/Hurd, the final and most significant piece of the GNU puzzle. ;) -- scott c. linnenbringer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.panix.com/~sl | [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | irc: Jawoota
