Next version of Windows isn't going to be called Windows XP, that was a
typo, it's going to be called Windows PR.

Hmmm...well, based on a scan of the requirements, I don't see anything
xemacs shouldn't be able to handle pretty readily. Did you leave it
off of your list for some particular reason? If you were just unaware
it had all these capabilities, run, don't walk, to www.xemacs.org and
see what you think... If there are particular issues with xemacs, you
might try posting to the very active and responsive gnu.emacs.xemacs
group. I don't know how to do all the things mentioned below in
xemacs off hand, but I'm nearly certain they are all readily doable.
The only issue with xemacs would be the 'small footprint', but you're
asking a hell of a lot from a 'small footprint' program anyway...
I suspect vim can do most or all of what you want as well,
particularly gvim. Frankly I'm shocked these two [vi(m) and (x)emacs]
aren't even ON your list. They are the two favorites, generally. You
can read about and download xemacs at
http://www.xemacs.org
for all platforms.
You can get gvim for windows 98 from
http://www.davecentral.com/15679.html
and you can get massive support for that program (including linux
downloads, and uncompiled windows downloads) from
http://www.gvim.org
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
I can't speak to the editors that are actually ON your list, but I
think these two will suit your needs.
Note that for both of these programs, under windows, you can get
greatly improved functionality (for things like compiling within the
editor) by installing cygwin as well. It can be had at
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
(Below are a couple of comments specific to (x)emacs, with which I am
most familiar...for more detailed xemacs info, post to g.e.x, as
mentioned above for more detailed vim info, repost with specific
questions and put 'vim' somewhere in the subject. This is the main
vim list, oddly enough.)

Definitely, look at picture mode. If you use FSF emacs, there is a

very straightforward. for example the M-q command auto-fills the
current paragraph, and is smart enough to maintain appropriate

Not sure what you mean. Emacs has its own browser, W3, but it cannot
actually handle java applets. Emacs can automatically run netscape or
whatever for you. Are you looking for an editor that is also a fully
functional modern browser???? Might want to reevaluate, if so...I
don't think such a thing exists...

I suspect this already exists (I don't write much HTML...), certainly
emacs has an HTML mode. I'm not a font of knowledge on this point.

see top. Mostly fine. Definitely larger than notepad, but you get
what you pay for. Vim is smaller...might require you to climb a
larger learning curve to use, though...check out my urls above.

this would require a tiny bit of configuration, but emacs is quite
capable of recognizing addresses and spawning child processes. I use
emacs to read my mail (see 'gnus') anyway, so that's kind of a moot
point, but if you wanted it to spawn outlook express instead, that
shouldn't be hard to arrange...post to g.e.x for help

You won't need to bother defining templates. They're all there.
C-like languages in particular are exceedingly well covered.
Supported indent styles include gnu, k&r, stroustrup, and several
others. Defining your own is easy

absolutely.
> >2. Ability to use FTP
Yes. emacs can spawn shells, and I think it has its own ftp
services. You can open remote files directly in (x)emacs:
C-xC-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.emacs
would then prompt you for a password, and let you edit '.emacs' in
your home directory on my.servers.name. This is very powerful, but
you can read the documentation, so I'll stop there.

You're out of luck, but odds on you can find a friend who knows emacs,
and she's probably got a phone at her desk. :)

The Russell-Herzsprung diagram describes the life-cycle of stars. The
reference was meant as a joke, since I don't believe anyone (anyone in
their right mind, that is) would ever try to take that as the base of a
philosophical system.
Having said that, people are really funny buggers, so who knows?

Yes and no. Mutations are random variations, but in the case of cosmic
particle impacts they are even more so <G>.
Genetic mutations are usually limited by the "imput" of both parents,
resulting in a higher probability of a viable mutant. With "cosmic"
mutants the odds are very low indeed.
It was sexual reproduction that led to the explosion of species in the
early Cambrium. Previously the Earth had seen basically the same
bacteria for more than three billion years (and interestingly enough,
the level of background radiation was quite a lot higher too).

Didn't know it was *that* close!
That means that next week, or next month, or next quarter, the x86

On a slightly different track, are there any numbers yet for the 733 MHz
