1 | GNU Emacs for Mac OS |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | This directory contains the files needed to build GNU Emacs on the Mac | |
| 4 | OS (8.1-9.0). Many of the major features of the Unix version are | |
| 5 | supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the | |
| 6 | mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding | |
| 7 | systems. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder, | |
| 10 | transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and | |
| 11 | sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous | |
| 14 | subprocesses (start-process), and networking | |
| 15 | (open-network-connection). | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) | |
| 18 | although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the | |
| 19 | Mac. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be | |
| 22 | used to build Emacs on the Mac OS. See the INSTALL file in this | |
| 23 | directory for instructions on building Emacs. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Binary distributions are available at | |

| 29 | At this site you can also find an FAQ, mailing lists, and dicussion | |
| 30 | forums for discussing issues related to running GNU Emacs on Mac OS. | |
