Setting up a beta version of xemacs to use gnus [and w3].

xemacs version: 21.2.19
w3 version: w3-4.0pre.44

Attempts to load w3 result in this error message:
Invalid byte code: "variable reference to constant symbol :group"

Anyone know what the fix would be?

Try removing the 'let (...)' in w3-keyword.el... although this code works
fine for me here XEmacs 21.2  (beta22) "Mercedes"

I didn't compile with all the debugging whizbangs though.  That might be an
issue.

OOOps  .. think I found the problem... I was aiming xemacs at w3 *.elc
files compiled with fsf emacs.

A little off the beaten path for ding ...:

The main reason I am experimenting with xemacs was to see if its
html-mode, and particularly C-c C-v `browse-url-of-buffer' and the
toggle C-c C-s that allows you to view edits immediately, would be
nicer using the built-in  w3 as against fsf emacs with netscape.


My xemacs loads html-mode alright but balks at `browse-url-of-buffer'
with:
Symbols function definition is void: `browse-url-of-buffer'

Does it work for you?

Ohhhh, that'll do it.

You can use W3 with Emacs too, of course.  Checking rendering in text
mode is a Good Thing, if that's the issue.
