We have code to support NeWS in Gnu Emacs. It goes back to NeWS 1.0 or maybe 1.1. We're now experimenting with XNeWS 1.0, which I believe is called NeWS 2.0. It looks like the Gnu Emacs support needs to be updated. It basically works. But it insists on refreshing the window when I do just about anything. Does anybody have revised support for Gnu Emacs that is known to work with XNeWS 1.0?

As the name says, XNeWS, or X11/NeWS, or OpenWindows, is *both* X and NeWS. The X version of GNU Emacs runs fine under OpenWindows. Making emacs support a proprietary window system that already supports emacs seems a little pointless. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | If you want PL/I, you know where to CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | find it. -- D.

The bottom line for a lot of people is the programmability, no? So it stands to reason that people who like the programmability of Emacs are likely to want to have access to the programmability of NeWS while they're in Emacs. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. <peter@ficc.uu.net>. / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'

For example I programed a font-change to functionkeys F3 and F4 so that F3 uses a character set with letters needed in Finnish language. When I write english or programs I use US-ASCII character set by pressing the button F4. I beleave this is not so easy in xemacs :-) BTW. NeWS-emacs has (had in our case) two bugs. 1) it performs unnecessary window updates 2) the emacs-window is partly overlapped with other windows some function- keys are duplicated in input. This happens because of missing 'pause' in screen update code. -- This article represents my personal views. "X is the Fortran of windowing systems." Kari Systa, Tampere Univ.
