The layout is a self-contained bundle, but I really haven't tried adding additional libraries. In fact I was trying to install ispell today but couldn't compile it. Maybe I'll use fink to get ispell. However, Emacs.app does seem to find my ~/.emacs just fine. And it looks like it's finding my stuff in ~/.elisp/ as well. I think Andrew Choi (or someone) is going to distribute a binary for OS X once the GNU Emacs source makes a point release. I originally starting using this Emacs because I found the binary at http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/. However, that one would not run on Jaguar, couldn't reach the maintainer, and so I endeavored to compile my own on 10.2. I think I'm going to put the app up my website until Andrew Choi makes an official one. Alex Rice, Software Developer Architectural Research Consultants, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
