I now have epoch 3.2 running on my Apollo node with Domain/OS sr10.3.
To quote from the epoch 3.2 announcement:
Epoch is a modified version of GNU Emacs 18.55 with several major enhancements:
o Multiple X-Window support
o Marked and Attributed regions of text
o Support for multiple fonts (fixed size), underlining, and
stipple patterns.
o Asynchronous communication with other X-Clients (usually the
window manager)
o Mouse-dragging with highlighting to support mouse-based cut-and-
paste.
o Access to raw X-Window objects
I have merged some of Leonard Zubkoff's and John Vasta's changes to support
things like undumping into the epoch 3.2 sources. I also cleaned up some
code and made fixes where things didn't compile.
The patches are available by anonymous ftp from dabo.ifs.umich.edu.
