The newsgroup gnu.epoch.misc (which is a bi-directional copy of the
mailing list epoch@cs.uiuc.edu which concerns the program 'Epoch'.
Epoch 4.2 is a modified version of GNU Emacs 18.58 with several major
enhancements:
* Multiple X window support.
* Marked and styled regions of text.
* Support for proportional and variable-sized fonts.
* Support for 8-bit clean fonts (ISO, Latin-1, etc.).
* Asynchronous communication with other X clients (e.g., the
window manager).
* Mouse-dragging with highlighting to support mouse-based cut and
paste.
* Access to raw X-Window objects.
Some minor enhancements include various bug fixes and improved option
handling.
Epoch is available by anonymous ftp on `cs.uiuc.edu'.
Write to epoch-request@cs.uiuc.edu for information on obtaining epoch
other than via anonymous FTP.
