No. The name XEmacs is unfortunate in the sense that it is not an X Window System-only version of Emacs. XEmacs has full color support on a color-capable character terminal.

XEmacs is the result of the time and effort of many people. The developers responsible for recent releases are: Chuck Thompson and Ben Wing were the maintainers for 19.11 through 19.14 and heavy code contributors for 19.8 through 19.10. Jamie Zawinski was the maintainer for 19.0 through 19.10 (the entire history of Lucid Emacs). Richard Mlynarik was a heavy code contributor to 19.6 through 19.8.

Strictly speaking, no. XEmacs will build and install just fine without any packages installed. However, only the most basic editing functions will be available with no packages installed, so installing packages is an essential part of making your installed XEmacs _useful_.

You can't use the same copy of Gnus in both as the Lisp files are byte-compiled to a format which is different depending on which Emacs did the compilation. Get one copy of Gnus for Emacs and one for XEmacs.

To answer the second part of the question: No, you, you don't need Cygwin or MinGW to build or to run XEmacs. But if you have them and want to use them, XEmacs supports these environments. One important reason to support Cygwin is that it lets the MS Windows developers test out their code in a Unix environment without actually having to have a Unix machine around. For this reason alone, Cygwin support is likely to remain supported for a long time in XEmacs.

For a concise description of the current situation with XEmacs, see this message from the Cygwin mailing list: 'http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00609.html'.

On Linux or Unix systems, if you have installed Java JDK 1.4, then you can take advantage of its -Djava.awt.headless=true option to start OC4J without an X11 server running or the DISPLAY environment variable set. Here is an example of how to start up a standalone version of OC4J which contains MapViewer: sh> java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar oc4j.jar In terms of functionality, there is no difference. However, the packaging is different. The mapviewer.

XEmacs is regularly tested on Linux, Solaris, SunOS, HP/UX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS aka BSDI, Tru64 aka DEC/OSF, SCO5, and probably others. It should work on all versions of Unix created in the last 10 years or so, perhaps with a bit of work on more obscure platforms to correct bit-rot.

You need to install recent development libraries for libc, Freetype, X11, OpenGL and GLUT. On a Debian-derived Linux distribution (like Ubuntu), you can use the line sudo apt-get install libc6-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev glutg3-dev

Yes, you can, but no you do not need to. In fact, we recommend that you use a native-GUI version unless you have a specific need for an X version.

You need Visual C++ 4.2, 5.0, or 6.0 for the native version. (We have some beta testers currently trying to compile with VC.NET, aka version 7.0, but we can't yet report complete success.) For the Cygwin and MinGW versions, you need the Cygwin environment, which comes with GCC, the compiler used for those versions. See section and do I need them to run XEmacs?, for more information on Cygwin and MinGW.

You need a computer that meets the system requirements found here. Also you need to have an internet connection. High speed and low speed both works with Autism Education Online.

Since PDL is just a Perl package you need first of all an installation of Perl on your machine. As of this writing PDL requires version 5.004 of Perl, version 5.004_4 or higher is strongly recommended. More information on where and how to get a Perl installation can be found at the Perl home page http://www.perl.com and at many CPAN sites (if you do not know what CPAN is check the answer to the next question).

Any system capable of running Gnome 2, KDE 3.2, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and later versions should be able to run GIMP. GIMP's biggest appetite is for memory and how much you will need will depend on the how many images you are working with, their resolution, size, the number of layers you use and so on. As a general rule, more is better, but 128MB should be enough to be getting started with.

Any computer that can successfully run JediKnight should be capable of running the core release and all subsequent releases. It has been developed on a Pentium 233 MMX with 32 mb Ram. It was seen running in 3D accelerated mode on an ATI 3D Rage II and Monster 3D II 8 mb video card setup with no problems.

First, you need a computer which is IBM compatible. The computer should have 640 KB of RAM or even more :)) (in some cases it will work with fewer RAM, too, but I would use more). Then, you need a floppy drive, a harddisk or something simular. It would be great to have a keyboard or a mouse and if you want to see something you might need a monitor... but that's all. For those who always were happy with Windows it might be annoying to type a lot at the command prompt.

MiniVend is a complex system requiring the services of other complex pieces of hardware and software. While it can be very easy to install, it is not always. You must look at the ongoing environment as well as just the initial installation. Perl First of all, you need a recent Perl. MiniVend 4 will not run on anything less than Perl 5.005. Perl modules MiniVend will run with a stock Perl, but to use some features of MiniVend (like the MiniMate interface) you will need some extra modules.

A 3DFX-based 3D accelerator card employing the Voodoo, Voodoo Rush, Voodoo2, Banshee or Voodoo3 chipset. (Note: Only D2_3DFX v1.06b supports Voodoo2 and above.)

In all other cases, such as running DenyHosts from cron then technically speaking, no. However, in order to run DenyHosts as non-root you must ensure that you have read-permissions on the /var/log/ sshd server logs. Alternatively, you can copy them to a directory where you do have read-permissions. Also, in order for DenyHosts to block hosts, it needs write permissions for the /etc/hosts.deny file. DenyHosts will gladly run without being able to update this file.

EzASPSite? requires web space on a web server that supports ASP 2.0 or above. Without Microsoft ASP 2.0 or above support you can NOT use this application.

The analyzer is coded using the GTK+ library. There are two ports of this library for Mac OS X. One port is using the native Mac interface. This was our target port. Unfortunately – this port of GTK+ is not in a stable version yet. We are therefore forced to release the analyzer based upon the X11 based port of GTK+. X11 can be installed from your Mac installation CD. You should run the application "Optional Installs.mpkg" and then choose to install "Applications/X11".

When you use the Applications menu, the environment variables are the ones that X11.app has inherited from where it was started. So if you launch X11 from the Finder or Dock, very likely your environment will be limited. See previous question to set the PATH environment for all applications include X11.app.

OneTouch Diabetes Management Software v2.3 and higher have been tested and validated to run on Microsoft® Windows® 98 Second Edition, Windows® NT 4.0 Workstation (SP6 or above), Windows® 2000 Professional (SP4 or above), Windows® Me, and Windows® XP Home and Professional (SP2 or above) and Windows Vista™.

You need Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2005 (Standard, Professional, or Team edition) installed on your computer to run C-Sharpener For VB because it is a Visual Studio .NET Addin. C-Sharpener For VB does not support Visual Studio .Net 2005 Express edition because the Express edition does not support Visual Studio .NET Addins.

Yes, you have to have some form of X server (unless you're running Windows, of course). It needs an X server for image processing, and for font manipulation. However, if you wish to run in batch mode, you can run with a special, frame-buffer-less X server called Xvfb, which doesn't require a graphics card or mess with your screen: Xvfb :1 -screen 0 10x10x8 -pixdepths 1 & gimp --display :1.0 --no-interface --batch "commands" ..
