Perhaps, by writing more colorful manuals more users could be attracted. :)) While on this topic, I googled for 15th edition of emacs.pdf but could not find it. The 14th edition had blue hyperlinks but 16th is devoid of it. A quick download link would be appreciated. Is there a page where all the older official compiled version of emacs and its manuals are stored ? Whats the command to check-out working sources for the earliest compilable version of emacs ? I want to try that. I am familiar with the following for example. svn checkout http://software.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ software-read-only Cheers Franz Xe
