Hi everybody,

	It looks quiet around  here! I take  it for a sign everyone is
pretty happy with epoch. But ... .

	A while ago I've got SGI station that forced me to switch from
my favorite Emacs to Epoch.  Not a big event  for my moderate for user
requirements! Upsetting is that Epoch doesn't work remotely, i.e. when
I dial-in through a modem to the machine and invoke Epoch, it responds
with Error Message  'Xlib: Client  is not   authorized to  connect  to
Server ...'.  My understanding is  that it has  problems  working in a
non-graphical environment. Remedies?

	Any advice may help me a lot! Thanks.

					Vitaly

P.S. I check some epoch.faq files (the latest I found is dated by 1992),
but didn't see anything that seemed relevant.

I'm not sure how well Epoch deals with multiple displays in any case, even in
case you're logged in from another X display.

Your best bet is to just startup a regular "gnuemacs" or "gnuemacs -nw".

I'll be interested to know ANY emacs which can talk to multiple displays
(and will switch to it from Epoch right away.)  If all you need to do is to
talk to a non-local server, you should check the X connection by trying
another client, say, xterm first.  If it doesn't work, you can't blame
Epoch :-).  In any case, you can either un-set your DISPLAY or use epoch
-nw, which will then invoke the standard ASCII emacs.

P.S. I'll dump epoch whenever efs becomes available or Lucid emacs comes up
with an ASCII version.

XEmacs 19.12 will support multiple X displays.

19.12 will have tty support.  You'll even be able to use tty's and X
displays simultaneously.  It's in alpha now.  A net release is still
some months away, however.
