[gnu.misc.discuss] X11 Info widget

jkh@meepmeep.pcs.com (Jordan K. Hubbard) (10/09/89)

Given that there seems to be a lot of interest, I will be making a pre-
release of my "Emacs Info" widget. Expect to see it in comp.sources.x
soon (I will be shipping it to Mike Wexler as soon as I get it packaged
up).

Oh, I also made a mis-statement earlier:

> There is indeed a C interface. It was written by Brian Fox of bash fame.
> I have ripped out the support routines and put them into an X11 widget
> which I was going to release with my xgdb debugger front-end. I guess
> I could do a pre-release of just the widget if there's enough interest.

Actually, it doesn't use *any* of Brian's code. I tried to use his
code at first, but was deterred by the fact that I needed to present the
information in a very different way (menus in a seperate area, for instance)
and needed to munge through the files differently. Don't blame
Brian for any of the code you see from me!
