MS-DOS returns. Transfer some old bugs to the tracker. Add some urls. Some lispref files don't need checking.

** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.

** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.

** Update INSTALL and NEWS to reflect lack of MS-DOS support, if it still
isn't working by then.

* WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS

** Emacs crashes on Windows when visiting .tar.gz files.  See

   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-06/msg01850.html

and its follow-ups.

** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
Verify that the new font backend eliminates this and other Cleartype related
problems.

** [e-mail] 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)

* BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT

** [e-mail], sep 7: Emacs 23.0.50: Segfaults in alloc.c (batch process)
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg00690.html

** undefined reference getopt_long
Report by Daniel C. Bastos <[e-mail]> on bug-gnu-emacs
from 2007-08-27.  Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.

* BUGS

** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
It is a dangerous design.

** [e-mail], Sep 24: TLS infinite loop.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01720.html

** [e-mail]: find-func: can no longer find adviced subrs
This ought to work.

** \\{...} produces duplicate entries
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-05/msg00209.html

** menu indications of key bindings for remapped commands

be part of Gnus.  They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been
minimized.  I don't know what is left to do here.

** [e-mail], 30 Oct: ps-lpr-switches has no effect

** [e-mail], 9 Nov: X-coding-system incompatibility, and workaround

** multi-tty does not work correctly.
If the server is started from a tty frame and emacsclient creates an
X11 frame, the tty frame gets confused, it thinks it is an X11 frame
when trying to do a C-z.  This worked with server.el version 1.136, it

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg01335.html

** move verilog-mode.el compile patterns into compile.el?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00234.html

** stack-trace-on-error segfaults infloop
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg02031.html

** [e-mail], Feb 3: emacsclient misbehaves

** Mouse clicks on the menubar don't currently work with a console
Following the direct use of Gpm, the menubar now needs to be
considered a special part of the screen in Emacs on a console.
