[comp.emacs] GNU Emacs user inquires about Epoch capabilities

kinstrey@wsqtba.crd.ge.com (M. A. Kinstrey) (09/14/90)

I'm currently using GNU Emacs 18.55 with X linked in
(GNU XEmacs???) on DEC/Ultrix workstations and an 
HP 300/Unix, and have written quite a few lisp
functions for it.

I'm now at the point where I need more access to X via lisp
than what 18.55 currently provides me. Is there another
release of GNU Emacs coming out soon which has greater
X functionality?

Also, I need information on Epoch. How is it different
than GNU Emacs 18.55? Does Epoch do reverse video, for
example? How about different colors for different
buffers, or different sections of text?
Is it public domain like GNU? Who/How can I get it from?

Questions, questions, questions. If someone could send me
some information to at least get me started, I'd really
appreciate it.

				Thanks,
					Mike Kinstrey
