I have been so annoyed with many of the "improvements" in emacs-21 that, instead spending my time trying to "customize them away," I just stick with emacs-20 and add to it the occasional emacs-21 feature that I find to be useful. All of the "improvements" to Emacs-21 (like the "fringes" and "tool-bar") that are immediately obvious to anyone familiar with previous versions appear to have been designed by an escapee from the Microsoft asylum. --Greg At 9:12 AM -0700 5/17/02, Chuck Bernard wrote: >Well, I've downloaded the entire archive and I was not able to find any >discussions on the fringes with regard to turning them off. > >Maybe I'm the only person in the world which was annoyed by them when >I went from a previous version that didn't have them.
