With CVS you can have every day some work ... It takes longer to download, but it makes more sense (GNU Emacs has =20 cvs built-in). The sources (C and Elisp and others) change quite =20 often, because it's still a developing software. So updating and re-=20 compiling and re-testing/using every few days makes sense. There is also a version 23 available, based on Unicode. The Xft =20 branch was integrated into it in summer (offering font anti-=20 aliasing), and recently it learned to use fontsets to become able to =20 display less characters as empty boxes. For both versions a transparency patch is available that can make GNU =20= Emacs transparent in X11 =96 if the X server (I think starting with =20 X11R6.8) allows this! -- Greetings Pete "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.
