I guess I should have said "FSF Emacs"? One problem with the Mac OS X version of Emacs is being able to distinguish the windowing system/gui used: None (curses), X11, or Carbon. On my machine I have each version running; and on windows I have an NT/Win32 and a cygwin (X11) version as well. Should the installer make explicit which GUI version it is installing? -Steven On Aug 24, 2004, at 11:08 AM, David Kastrup wrote: > Steven Tamm writes: > >> As for personal preference, I would do the following: >> >> %PROGRAM_FILES%\GNU Emacs\bin\emacs.exe >> or possibly this, although less desirable since there aren't any >> symbolic links >> %PROGRAM_FILES%\GNU Emacs\21.3\bin\emacs.exe > > File: efaq, Node: Difference between Emacs and XEmacs, Next: > Emacs for MS-DOS, Prev: Current GNU distributions, Up: Finding Emacs > and related packages > > What is the difference between Emacs and XEmacs (formerly "Lucid > Emacs")? > > ======================================================================= > == > > First of all, they're both GNU Emacs.
