+@appendix Emacs 19 Antinews
+
+  For those users who live backwards in time, here is information about
+downgrading to Emacs version 19.  We hope you will enjoy the greater
+simplicity that results from the absence of certain Emacs 20 features.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The multibyte character and end-of-line conversion support have been
+eliminated entirely.  (Some users consider this a tremendous
+improvement.)  Character codes are limited to the range 0 through 255
+and files imported onto Unix-like systems may have a ^M at the end of
+each line to remind you to control MS-DOG type files.
+
+@item
+Fontsets, coding systems and input methods have been eliminated as well.
+
+@item
+The mode line normally displays the string @samp{Emacs}, in case you
+forget what editor you are using.
+
+@item
+Scroll bars always appear on the right-hand side of the window.
+This clearly separates them from the text in the window.
+
+@item
+The @kbd{M-x customize} feature has been replaced with a very simple
+feature, @kbd{M-x edit-options}.  This shows you @emph{all} the user
+options right from the start, so you don't have to hunt for the ones you
+want.  It also provides a few commands, such as @kbd{s} and @kbd{x}, to
+set a user option.
+
+@item
+The @key{DELETE} key does nothing special in Emacs 19 when you use it
+after selecting a region with the mouse.  It does exactly the same thing
+in that situation as it does at all other times: delete one character
+backwards.
+
+@item
+@kbd{C-x C-w} no longer changes the major mode according to the new file
+name.  If you want to change the mode, use @kbd{M-x normal-mode}.
+
+@item
+In Transient Mark mode, each window displays highlighting for the region
+as it exists in that window.
+
+@item
+Outline mode doesn't use overlay properties; instead, it hides a line by
+converting the preceding newline into code 015.  Magically, however, if
+you save the file, the 015 character appears in the file as a newline.
+
+@item
+There is now a clever way you can activate the minibuffer recursively
+even if @code{enable-recursive-minibuffers} is @code{nil}.  All you have
+to do is @emph{switch windows} to a non-minibuffer window, and then use a
+minibuffer command.  You can pile up any number of minibuffer levels
+this way, but @kbd{M-x top-level} will get you out of all of them.
+
+@item
+We have removed the limit on the length of minibuffer history lists;
+they now contain all the minibuffer arguments you have used since the
+beginning of the session.
+
+@item
+Dynamic abbrev expansion now handles case conversion in a very simple
+and straightforward way.  If you have requested preserving case, it
+always converts the entire expansion to the case pattern of the abbrev
+that you have typed in.
+
+@item
+The @code{compose-mail} command does not exist; @kbd{C-x m} now
+runs @code{mail} directly.
+
+@item
+There is no way to quote a file name with special characters in it.
+What you see is what you get: if the name looks remote, it is remote.
+
+@item
+@kbd{M-x grep-find} has been eliminated, because @code{grep} has never
+been lost.
+
+@ignore
+@item
+Truth in advertising: @kbd{M-x grep} by default uses @code{grep}, the
+whole @code{grep}, and nothing but the @code{grep}.  If you want it to
+use @code{zgrep}, you'll have to edit the search command by hand.
+@end ignore
+
+@item
+Some Dired commands have been rearranged: two-character sequences
+have been replaced with quick single-character commands:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+For @code{dired-mark-executables}, type @kbd{*}.
+@item
+For @code{dired-mark-directories}, type @kbd{/}.
+@item
+For @code{dired-mark-symlinks}, type @kbd{@@}.
+@item
+For @code{dired-change-marks}, type @kbd{c}.
+@item
+For @code{dired-unmark-all-files}, type @kbd{C-M-?}.
+@item
+For @code{dired-unmark-all-marks}, type @kbd{C-M-? @key{RET}}.
+@end itemize
+
+But if you want to use @code{dired-flag-garbage-files}, @kbd{&}, you'll
+just have to stop living in the past.
+
+@item 
+In C mode, you can now specify your preferred style for block comments.
+If you want to use the style
+
+@example
+/*       
+blah     
+blah     
+*/       
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+then you should set the variable @code{c-block-comments-indent-p} to
+@code{t}.
+
+@item
+To customize faces used by Font Lock mode, use the variable
+@code{font-lock-face-attributes}.  See its documentation string for
+details.
+
+@item
+For efficiency, Font Lock mode now uses by default the minimum supported
+level of decoration for the selected major mode.
+
+@item
+If you kill a buffer, any registers holding saved positions in that
+buffer are changed to point into limbo.
+
+@item
+The function @code{set-frame-font} has been renamed to
+@code{set-default-font}.
+
+@item
+The variable @code{tex-main-file} doesn't exist.  Of course, you can
+create the variable by setting it, but that won't do anything special.
+
+@item
+The @code{scroll-preserve-screen-position} variable has been eliminated;
+and so has the feature that it controls.
+
+@item
+We have eliminated the functions @code{add-untranslated-filesystem} and
+@code{remove-untranslated-filesystem}, and replaced them with a simpler
+function, @code{using-unix-filesystems}.
+
+@item
+To keep up with decreasing computer memory capacity, many other
+functions and files have been eliminated in Emacs 19.  There's no need
+to mention them all here.  If you try to use one of them, you'll get an
+error message to tell you that it is undefined or unbound.
+@end itemize
