I think I use the Carbon Emacs from that selection.  It works well,

a couple of files, but a bit scary if you didn't know this).

It could be that you just have to change the preferred order of languages
for your system. I had a problem with Safari rendering some web pages in
japanese until I added english to my system languages.

No, see this page:

With respect, this seems deeply unlikely (it was a complaint about not
finding some binary in $PATH, IIRC).

[Pythonmac-SIG] what's the plural of Emacs?

2005-06-15 Thread Charles Hartman
I'd like to reintroduce myself to Emacs, so I went looking for the  
Mac version. There seem to be at least two, maybe more, even just  
from Apple. Can anyone give me the thumbnail version of why I should  
get one or another?

Emacsen?

Apple only offers one emacs, the one that ships with Mac OS X, unless  
you're just talking about listings on http://apple.com/downloads/?

I've heard that some people are happy with the Carbonized GNU Emacs  
(I think it can be compiled from CVS, but there are various binaries  
available), and Kevin Walzer is working on an AquaMacs http:// 
www.wordtech-software.com/aquamacs.html distribution, which I've  
heard mixed things about.

My understanding (completely second-hand, and from the XEmacs gang, no less)
is that the guy that Carbonized (Carbonified?) GNU Emacs got disillusioned
with the GNU folk.  There are enough Mac/GNU Emacs people to keep that
running though, so it should be a reasonable option.  There is a Carbon
patch for XEmacs (contributed by the same guy) that's available as a a
branch on the XEmacs CVS repository.
