Increment version number to 2.1, and use a literal rather than RCS $Id$. Remove autoloads for mailcrypt and crypt++. Require pgg, pgg-gpg during compilation. (allout-version): Increment version number to 2.1, and use a literal rather than RCS $Id$. (allout-default-encryption-scheme): Removed. (allout-passphrase-verifier-handling): Renamed from allout-key-verifier-handling. (allout-passphrase-verifier-string): Renamed from allout-key-verifier-string. (allout-file-passphrase-verifier-string): Renamed from allout-file-key-verifier-string. (allout-enable-file-variable-adjustment): Simplified. (allout-passphrase-hint-handling): Renamed from allout-key-hint-handling and simplified. (allout-passphrase-hint-string): Renamed from allout-key-hint-string. (allout-init): Use `find-file-hook' if available, otherwise `find-file-hooks'. (allout-mode): Use `write-file-functions' if available, otherwise `local-write-file-hooks' and, instead of making auto-save-hook buffer local, make the write-file-hook activity contingent to allout-mode. (allout-mode): Use key-binding substitution placeholders in the docstring. (allout-kill-line): Spell-out kill ring data structure mutation instead of using byte-compiler-complaint-provoking `pop'. (allout-insert-listified): Use `insert' rather than `insert-string' (allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption): Updated docstring, adjust to new gpp-based encryption, use new `allout-encrypted-topic-p'.

Emacs for Mac OS 8/9 and Mac OS X

This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS
8/9 and Mac OS X.  Many of the major features of the Unix version are
supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the
mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding
systems.

Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.

The following are not supported on Mac OS 8/9 : unexec (dump-emacs),
asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking
(open-network-stream).  These features work fine on Mac OS X.

There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on
Mac OS 8/9 although Unix commands that are used will need to be
ported.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to
build Emacs on the Mac OS 8/9.  On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using
the Developer Tools.  See the INSTALL file in this directory for
instructions on building Emacs.

Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to
use Emacs on the Mac.

A number of things do not work yet:

+ Emacs does not respond correctly to C-g under certain circumstances.  
  Sending the Emacs process a SIGINT externally will cause it 
  to interrupt.  This is due to the architecture of OSX's 
  Window Manager.

+ Support for certain image types (such as XPM) is not as extensive as 
  on other plaforms. 

+ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal 
  binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture.

If your Mac is connected to the Internet, report bugs by typing `M-x
report-emacs-bug' or by choosing the entry `Send Bug Report...'  in
the `Help' menu.  This will send the bug report to the address
[e-mail].
