  16 This directory contains the files needed to build GNU Emacs on the Mac
  17 OS (8.1-9.0).  Many of the major features of the Unix version are
  18 supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the
  19 mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding
  20 systems.
  21
  22 Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
  23 transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
  24 sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.
  25
  26 The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous
  27 subprocesses (start-process), and networking
  28 (open-network-stream).
  29
  30 There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process)
  31 although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the
  32 Mac.
  33
  34 Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be
  35 used to build Emacs on the Mac OS.  See the INSTALL file in this
  36 directory for instructions on building Emacs.
  37
  38 Binary distributions are available in
  39
  40   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mac/emacs/

  42 At this site you can also find an FAQ related to running GNU Emacs on
  43 Mac OS.
