README updates. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-314

tty device support and simultaneous X and tty frame support works
fine.  Emacsclient has been extended to support opening new tty and X
frames.  It has been changed open new Emacs frames by default.

The multi-tty branch has been scheduled for inclusion in the next
major release of Emacs (version 22).  I expect the merge into the
development trunk to occur sometime during next year (2005), after the
merge of the Unicode branch.

Tested on GNU/Linux, Solaris 8, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  Please let me
know if you succeed or fail to use it on other platforms---I'll have a
few tricky test cases for you.

Known problems:

        * The single-kboard mode.

	  If your multi-tty Emacs session seems to be frozen, you
	  probably have a recursive editing session or a pending

	tla register-archive -f http://lorentey.hu/arch/2004/
	tla get [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty <directory>

This incantation uses my private archive mirror that is hosted on a
relatively low-bandwidth site; if you are outside Hungary, you will
probably want to you use the Arch supermirror instead: (Note that the
-f option will overwrite the archive location if you have previously
registered the Hungarian one.)

Known problems:

        * GTK support.  If you compile your Emacs with the GTK
          toolkit, some functionality of multi-tty will be lost.
          Current releases of GTK have limitations and bugs that
          prevent full-blown multi-display support in Emacs.  Use the
          Lucid toolkit if you want to see a complete feature set.

        * The single-kboard mode.

The Arch supermirror provides mirroring services for all public Arch
repositories.  We have a mirror there, too, if you prefer.

DEBIAN PACKAGES
---------------

If you run Debian, or a distribution based on Debian, you are welcome
to use our binary packages; put these lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

	# Multi-tty Emacs
	deb http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/apt ./
	deb-src http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/apt ./

Note that these packages are intended solely to provide an easy way to
test the new multi-tty features.  They are not to be taken as Emacs
releases, and it's a mistake to expect robust operation or any kind of
timely support for them.  Do not install them, unless you'd like to
have your editor crash on you.
