really compatible, and much too slow.
Furthermore I believe that since the
21.1 emacs has become better than xemacs.
However I must mention that I am very
happy

However I must mention that I am very happy that xemacs is available

think the ideal solution (bearing in mind that we are talking about a

make LessTif work ``right'' from our perspective under Windows. (This

XEmacs is of course GPL'd, and I'd direct anyone who might wonder
about the source of misguided comments such as the above to:

Cygwin port of rxvt.
If this is too difficult, may be a version of Emacs for Cygwin, that
use only the UNIX APIs can be ported. This Emacs version will be used
only within Cygwin's windows - Console or rxvt (Emacs in TTY mode) or
real display (using Cygwin-Xfree).
Any
$Windows APIs for the display and the keyboard. This
is already done (partly) by the Cygwin port of rxvt.
I used to agree with you, but the more I think about it, the more I
