Or maybe, no more Windows exposure for my XEmacs
Had to remove XEmacs from my Windows partition. No, I’m not quitting on my favorite editor. It’s just that I want to give more disk space for my brothers (who use Windows) and just stick to XEmacs on Linux. Running XEmacs on Windows felt a bit like cheating - like enjoying a pizza in the library - like you’re not really supposed to have that much fun in Windows. There were also a dozen small things that you had to deal with when you try to maintain code originally meant for Unixens on a Windows machine (i.e. mapping files and directories), such that putting in new libraries (with install instructions assuming a Unix context), can be quite pain. Until now I haven’t figured out how to make the Windows version play well with LaTEX and PDF, as well as Emacs Wiki and PlannerMode.
