New things, new things

New things, new things

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I didn't make the "hide" functions into toggles; instead they all take
a prefix to mean "show what I hid last time".  (All the hiding
functions add a text prop to the text they hide to differentiate who
hid what.)

The todo list is down to just 56 items!  (Whew.)  Mind you, I'm just
writing the stuff, so testing it properly and making it all work will
probably take months, nay centuries.  

I was planning to do some work between Xmas and the new year, but it
seems the only computer I'll be able to borrow is a machine that runs
MS Windows '96.  (The horror!  The horror!)  Does Emacs even run under
W96?

(isn't it still win95?)

You could always "accidentally" reformat the hard drive and offer to
upgrade their system to linux.

Obsgnus: Would it be possible for sgnus (or XEmacs) to notice whether
it is being run on a text-only display and display the appropriate
logo on startup? When I start up sgnus under XEmacs on a text-only
display, it just displays the path to the xpm file instead of a
logo. I like the logo. I miss the logo.

It's always possible to do something in Emacs:

(and (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
     (equal (device-type) 'tty))

will return t if XEmacs is running on a tty.

You can do a cheap hack now to achieve this, assuming you have write
permission in gnus-xmas-glyph-directory.  Set the permissions on
gnus.xpm to 0 while Gnus starts up, and you will get the old text
screen.  I've done this to preserve space in the colormap until the
image gets fixed.

Oops.  I put a test in there, but it was the wrong test.  Fix in 0.26.
