Emacs has supported Unicode better than XEmacs for longer than APL+ exists. So you better base your hopes on something else. -- David Kastrup ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Glancing at aplus's Elisp code (not sure why there's lisp.0 and lisp.1 in the tarball), it seems to be fairly old. In many ways it works only by accident nowadays (even under XEmacs) and does a fair bit of nasty things (i.e. it may/will change the way other things work in your session). So some of the work will involve adapting the code to current features (e.g. make use of Unicode). If someone wants to port it to Emacs, he should try it out under XEmacs first, to see how it is supposed to behave, and then try it under Emacs and report errors and discrepancies in the behavior, asking for help to fix them (gnu.emacs.help would be a good place to ask for such help).
