- I have been really busy lately but I am finally finding the time to
- port my Emacs packages to Lucid GNU Emacs. My enhanced info.el,
- with the same highlighting support as in Lucid's info.el plus all my
- new features, will be ready in a few days. I'll do the completer
- sometime soon, although it's not quite as high a priority.
-
- The big project is porting Calc. Unfortunately there are still several
- Emacs features that Calc uses heavily but that Lucid GNU Emacs doesn't
- support, such as horizontally-split windows and horizontal scrolling.
- At the moment I've just disabled all these features, but I'd like to
- try to rethink them for the multi-screen context. (For example, Keypad
- Mode really ought to run on its own screen, so you can leave it up there
- all the time.) I'll keep you all posted---it probably won't be long
- before there is a beta version ready to test.
