Fixing the compile is basically all that is necessary. I don't think Windows applications can support multiple displays, so that port will remain single-terminal in functionality (at least for now). > The problem is that this work has gone on outside the > normal emacs development community, so information of this sort is hard > to come by.

I changed employers last summer and need to have the papers signed again before the merge; this shouldn't be a problem. Dan Nicolaescu, Han Boetes and Kalle Olavi Niemitalo helped by submitting short patches. There might have been a few one-liner bugfixes from other people; I will check my logs. There were no other code contributions, but loads of helpful discussion and bug reports. -- Karoly
