[gnu.emacs.help] Epoch 3.2 and Emacs 19.0

mark@zok.UUCP (Mark W. Snitily) (11/29/90)

I've just installed epoch 3.2 and am very pleased with the results.  (For
those of you who haven't heard of epoch, it's GNU emacs 18.55 with a *good*
X11 interface.)

I seem to recall a discussion on the net about a GNU emacs 19.0.  That was
some time ago.  It was suppose to be emacs 18.x but with a good X11 interface.
Having played with epoch now, it seems to have achieved exactly the same goal.
Also, seeing Richard Stallman's name in epoch's "ChangeLog" file makes me
wonder.

Is epoch 3.2 really a beta (or alpha) of the long awaited emacs 19.0?
Or, is epoch a totally separate entity that should be added to the
"yet another" editor list?
