Therefore there is only one text editor, emacs, on my machine. However I don't believe that in the year 2003=20 when most users running linux on fast ia32 machines a tty=20 emacs is the future. Its rather a *nostalgia* for older users like we are. Furthermore my argument was removing=20 anything else than gtk2 as X11 target, and creating two=20 separate branches for tty and gtk2, sharing common code via libraries. An tty and an gtk2 emacs thats enough.=20 Otherwise the code base will become too large. -Niels On Friday 18 April 2003 06:13, David Combs wrote: > In article <87vfyai2ur.fsf@wassern.consult-meyers.com>, > > A.
