Re: [Orgmode] org mode columns don't work on xemacs 21

2008-03-23 Thread Jose Robins
Wow, this is a momentous day for me. I've been a hard core xemacs user 
for the last 12 years. And I've finally decided to switch over to  
emacs. I'll miss the nicer look and more streamlined and clean cut 
interface of xemacs. But after the release of emacs 22 and things like 
column support and such in org-mode which is available only in emacs 
have convinced me that the tradeoffs in sticking with xemacs was just 
not worth it... Even other packages are always better supported in emacs 
 Ah well, xemacs I'll miss some of your features ! but auf 
wiedersehen, it's time to say goodbye to you...

No.



- What specific feature in emacs 22 helps this to work? 


Column view uses overlays, adn the differences in the overlay/extent 
implementation would require
a lot of work making it compatible.  I do not have the time to work 
this out, so column view is not supported under XEmacs and likely 
never will.

I think the answer is no.  Columns view I believe is dependent on
emacs 22+ features.  It can't be used in emacs 21 or xemacs.  Carsten
has been really good about keeping features portable, so I would guess
that what ever prevents it from working is substantial.  I'm afraid I
don't know the details.

[Orgmode] org mode columns don't work on xemacs 21

2008-03-22 Thread Jose Robins
I use org-mode 5.21 with xemacs 21.4.21. When I try to use the column features 
in org -mode, I get a message that emacs 22 is needed for this to work. 
Question:

Thanks,
