Hi all you happy Epochers!

	I've seen some notes on the net of the "what's happened to epoch,
no-one at UIUC does anything here anymore" variety recently.

Have no fear!  we are hard at work on the next exciting version of your
favorite editor.  Within a couple weeks we will release for
comment/criticism/general improvement a preview of the features we're
planning to put in (the code itself, alas, will probably not be ready until
the summer at the earliest, so don't ask :-).

This is not that different to the time-hole between epoch 3.2 and 4.0.
Putting in major enhancements takes a lot of time, as you all already know.

cheers,
Simon

Is anything being done about converging Epoch with Emacs 19 (or Lucid
Emacs)?

Thanks,

I heard that epoch and Lucid emacs will probably merge, and that future
epoch versions are to be based on Lucid emacs (read it off the net but
forgot where :-(.

Anybody care to confirm or deny this?

Don't do it!  Remember, there's a new generation of X-windows users
out there, running on little PCs or (in my case) notebook computers
rather than giant workstations.  I manage to run X quite nicely with
4MB RAM and a little swapping under Linux, even when I need to work with
epoch.  Lucid, however, would kill my system in a week.

BTW, are there any plans to extend zones and styles to tty invocations
of epoch, using terminfo or termcap?  It would be nice to have boldface,
etc., over a modem.
