[linux-audio-user] [OT] any Xemacs users here ?

[Jack O'Quin]

Dave, 

I've used GNU emacs for about 20 years and xemacs for the last four or
five.  They're both pretty similar, but I like xemacs better for use
with X.

It's the greatest program ever written, IMHO.  :-)

Here's a pointer that looks helpful...

It seems to require emacs version 21 (see below).

That's a rather old version.  My Debian woody distribution includes
xemacs 21.4.6-8, which is hardly recent.  I'd recommened installing
xemacs version 21.  I'm not a Red Hat user, but a quick google seems
to indicate that rpmfind has xemacs 21 packages for RH 7.2.

Done.
