I have been a participant of this list since July, 1996.I will not use a web-forum, ever. I won't stop you setting one up, but I will not read it, and certainly not post anything there. I just cannot stand the cumbersome, featureless interfaces of those things. Mailing lists are perfectly adequate, nicely complemented by the more direct, informal medium of IRC. No spam, no fuss. And, when I need to look something up, I can easily check the history of postings on it .. For example, since I joined, Jay's first posting, which I still have here: Date: 7/11/1996 3:20 PM Subject: XEmacs 19.14 for Linux/Alpha I've built a binary distribution of the latest XEmacs (19.14) for Linux/Alpha, and made it available at gatekeeper.dec.com as: pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/X11/xemacs-19.14-alpha-unknown-linux2.0.0.tgz This was built on an EB164 running Red Hat Linux 3.0.3 and kernel 2.0.0. Note that this archive has *only* the executable binaries; look for the "common" archive for XEmacs 19.14 at www.xemacs.org, its home site. The patches necessary were *very* small and *very* trivial; I'll try to make them available as well. Let me know of any problems... --Jay++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Non Sequitur Society: we don't make sense, but we do like pizza...
