You could run Version 18 Emacs in VMS. This was a big deal. Also, searching was made several times faster, and Emacs could no longer run out of memeory during garbage collection. These, too, were big deals. In general major version number changes have always been big deals. The change that seems to have caused all this discussion is the idea of having two tracks, a `bug-fix' track, and a `new-features' track. In the past, there was only one track, which included both bug fixes and new features. -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com Rattlesnake Enterprises http://www.rattlesnake.com
