Many of the major features of the Unix version are +supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the +mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding +systems. + +Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder, +transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and +sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs. + +The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous +subprocesses (start-process), and networking +(open-network-connection). + +There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) +although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the +Mac. + +Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be +used to build Emacs on the Mac OS. See the INSTALL file in this +directory for instructions on building Emacs. + +Binary distributions are available at + + http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/index.html + +At this site you can also find an FAQ, mailing lists, and dicussion +forums for discussing issues related to running GNU Emacs on Mac OS. + +Andrew. +<akochoi@users.sourceforge.net> |
