Are you depressed because you finally get epoch working just the way
you want, and now you feel obliged to switch to emacs-19?  Are your
friends teasing you because your editor doesn't have scrollbars and
drop down menus?  Or perhaps you think that the emacs widgets are so
ugly that you don't want them on your nice color screen?

WS is a widget server designed for use with epoch, the X-aware
extension to emacs written by the good folks at UIUC.  WS provides a
drop down menu bar at the top of the epoch screen, and a single scroll
bar at the right edge of the screen.  The scroll bar moves the
currently selected window in the associated screen.  Menu commands are
normally executed in the context of the screen where you did the menu
selection.

WS is the Tk wish application extended with a new widget class (XENO).
Tk and its companion Tcl provide a flexible environment for Xwindows
widget handling.  New widgets such as panels, listboxes, etc. may be
built in Tk/Tcl and interfaced to epoch via WS.  


All comments are welcome, on any subject from algorithms to func names.
