Hi,
	I should have posted this all a long time ago, but things have been
`not good' around here, and that seems to have eaten all of my time:

1.  meta-bugs, 8bit chars, blinking etc.  This whole area is a mess.  We
are going to have to back off and fix it properly.  So it could be a while.

2.  Epoch and various versions of emacs 19.  I've had some discussions with
Jamie from Lucid, and we have agreed in principal that there should be a
common pooling of effort.  Unfortunately, due to the "not good"-ness
alluded to above, I have not had the time to actually make anything
actually happen about this.  But!  now we will actually get started.  I
dont want to make any commitments at this stage, and get people's hopes up,
but I think it's safe to say that there is general agreement that this is a
good thing, and that both ourselves and Lucid would like to see this
happen.  Once we have more information, possible timelines, etc, we will
let you all know.  As with Epoch 4.0 in its pre-release versions, we will
make versions of any v19-based epoch, or a merged epoch/lemacs, or whatever
actually evolves, available when it's ready.  Please don't ask for
additional information (there isn't any) or versions of the current effort
(there is no new code beyond 4.2 right now).  Of course, if you have any
suggestions, we would *love* to hear them, so please speak up!!  It can
only help make our favorite editor better!!

cheers,
Simon
