I installed SXCE_snv101 to compile OpenSolaris and was looking to clear some 
space on my HD.

# du -amo / | sort -rn | head -250
...
148     /opt/contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/xemacs_sources
...
84      /opt/contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/xemacs_sources/xemacs-sumo-2003-02-05.tar
...

# du -h /opt/contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/ | tail -1
 295M   /opt/contrib/xemacs-21.4.12

# which xemacs
/opt/bin/xemacs

We have xemacs 21.4 installed (and working). The [Help][About] says it is dated 
April 2001 and an 'ls' of the executable gives us this result:

# ls -l /opt/bin/../contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/bin/xemacs*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 25848    staff         14 Nov 14 16:55 
/opt/bin/../contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/bin/xemacs -> xemacs-21.4.12
-rwxr-xr-x   1 25848    staff    4890320 Aug 20  2004 
/opt/bin/../contrib/xemacs-21.4.12/bin/xemacs-21.4.12


Do we need SXCE_snv101 to have 300M of HD space occupied with the _source_ 
_code_ of a program that
is several releases old ? If you are happy with the "stability" of the 
_executable_ so be it but do we need the old
_source_ _code_ too ?
