I'm using epoch V4.2 on a SparcStation 1+ with 28Mb of memory, and am finding that epoch is "Garbage Collecting" much too frequently. This is especially noticeable when using mh-e and gnus, but is a general problem. I've glanced at lucid and it seems to be *much* faster, although it's appears to lack some of the epoch features, viz: o It doesn't have a shared minibuffer in a separate screen. o I couldn't figure how to switch between screens (from the keyboard) and have lucid raise the new screen to the top of the window stack. In epoch I use C-z o and C-z p. I saw in the on-line lucid NEWS it mentioned a future merge with epoch. Is this still planned? When could this be expected? -- --- John
