--=-=-= Name : xemacs Distribution: (none) Version : 21.1.2 Vendor: (none) Release : 2mdk Build Date: Mon Jun 21 13:13:45 1999 Install date: (not installed) Build Host: kenobi.mandrakesoft.com Group : Applications/Editors Source RPM: (none) Size : 21256519 URL : http://www.xemacs.org/ Summary : An X Window System based version of GNU Emacs. Description : XEmacs (and regular GNU Emacs, too) is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible, real-time display editor. XEmacs is self-documenting because at any time you can type in control-h to find out what your options are or to find out what a command does. XEmacs is customizable because you can change the definitions of XEmacs commands to anything you want. XEmacs is extensible because you can write entirely new commands--programs in the Lisp language to be run by Emacs' own Lisp interpreter. XEmacs includes a real-time display, which means that the text being edited is visible on the screen and is updated very frequently (usually after every character or pair of characters) as you type. This XEmacs distribution consists of four rpms: xemacs-21.0.67 (the main portion, including the standard XEmacs binary which most people use), xemacs-el-21.0.67 (elisp sources, which you only need if you're going to program with Lisp in XEmacs), xemacs-info-21.0.67 (optional information about XEmacs), and xemacs-extras-21.0.67 (files in common with Emacs, which you must install if you're installing XEmacs and you do not have Emacs installed). To use XEmacs, you'll need to install the XEmacs binary. The xemacs package includes the standard XEmacs binary that most people will use. The XEmacs binary is dynamically linked, with both X11 and TTY (ncurses) support, but without mule (MUlti-Lingual Emacs, the Asian character set) support. You might be able to tailor XEmacs to your use by using one of the following packages instead of xemacs: xemacs-static (static link with X11, ncurses, NO mule), xemacs-X11 (dynamic link with X11, NO ncurses, NO mule), xemacs-mule (dynamic link with X11, NO ncurses, mule) or xemacs-nox (dynamic link with NO X11, ncurses, NO mule). In order to use XEmacs, you will have to install either xemacs OR one of the four choices listed above (xemacs-static, xemacs-X11, xemacs-mule, xemacs-nox). Check each of the individual package descriptions if you want more information. You will also need to install xemacs-extras, if you do not have GNU Emacs already installed. --=-=-= Last Changelog: * Mon Jun 21 1999 Chmouel Boudjnah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Mandrake adaptations. -- Chmouel
