   The group at UoI that delivered Epoch has been busy working on the
   lemacs/epoch merge, together with the SunPro group.  Lemacs 19.10 has
   almost all the epoch functionality and much more.  The only epoch
   feature that I know is not in lemacs 19.10 is the separate minibuffer.
   I think that there will be an improved epoch compatibility package in
   the 19.11.

Epoch features which are not in lemacs 19.10 (according to the docs):
 * client messages, send and receive
 * property change events
 * property read/write functions
   - for editor screens 
   - for other x windows
 * pointer query
 * pointer warp
 * access to defaults database
 * query tree
 * reparent screen
 * grab pointer
 * intern-atom
 * resource conversion

Please let me know if I am wrong about any of these, I actually use
them (although I wouldn't need to use grab-pointer in lemacs :-).

Is there some way to get some of the events out of "magic-events"?
