(OT) Emacs vs Xemacs
I know this is not BSD specific, but I just wanted to get your opinions. I was wondering what might affect my decision which to use, other than licensing and (IIRC) the fancier font handling of Xemacs. jm -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both are licensed under the GPL, and the font handling is not significantly different these days. The eXtended features that give Xemacs its name are only of interest to people who program emacs heavily in LISP. In other words, it's unlikely to matter to you. Try them both and pick whichever you like. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xemacs has been fine, but since I am starting over, I thought I'd check out my options. jm -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
