Is XEmacs really ported to MS Windows? What is the status of the port?
Beginning with release 21.0, XEmacs has worked under MS Windows. A group of dedicated developers actively maintains and improves the Windows-specific portions of the code. The mailing list at xemacs-nt@xemacs.org is dedicated to that effort (please use the -request address to subscribe). (Despite its name, XEmacs actually works on all versions of Windows.)As of May 2001, XEmacs on MS Windows is stable and full-featured, and has been so for a year or more — in fact, some features, such as printing, actually work better on Windows than native Unix. However, the internationalization (Mule) support does not work — although this is being actively worked on.
