   Greetings, I'm using Freemacs on my machine (and am very happy with
   it) and had a few questions...

       Is there a support group, or discussion group for Freemacs?

Yes.  freemacs@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.  To get added to the list, send mail
to freemacs-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu, or send an automatic request
to listserv@sun.soe.clarkson.edu saying "add freemacs".

   I'm interested in learning more about Mint code, and discussing a
   possible implementation of the GNU Emacs 'shell' command that I'm
   working on.

       Is the current version still 16a?

Yes.

   Are there plans to release a new version?  (I.E. Should I wait for
   the next one before writing my 'shell' command?)

I plan to release a new version.  John Thiel added some code to swap
emacs to disk (or EMS) when spawning a program.  This is *so* neat
that I just have to put it out.

       I'm also working on Mint code to load greater than 64K files
   into multiple buffers, and save it out afterwards.

That would certainly be interesting to a lot of people!
