(Customization): Use xref to elisp manual for non-TeX output. (Minor Modes): Update. (Customization Groups, Changing a Variable, Face Customization): Update for new appearance of Custom buffers. (Changing a Variable): `custom-buffer-done-function' has been replaced by `custom-buffer-done-kill'. (Specific Customization): In the `customize-group' buffer, a subgroup's contents are not "hidden". They are not included at all. They have no [Show] button. (Mouse Buttons): Add pxref to description of mouse event lists in Elisp manual. Add `menu-bar' and `header-line' dummy prefix keys. (Find Init): Emacs now looks for ~/.emacs.d/init.el instead of ~/.emacs.d/.emacs, if it can not find ~/.emacs(.el).

# ulimit.hack: Create an intermediate program for use in
# between kernel initialization and init startup.
# This is needed on a 3b system if the standard CDLIMIT is
# so small that the dumped Emacs file cannot be written.
# This program causes everyone to get a bigger CDLIMIT value
# so that the dumped Emacs can be written out.
#
# Users of V.3.1 and later should not use this; see etc/MACHINES
# and reconfig your kernel's CDLIMIT parameter instead.
#
# Caveat: Heaven help you if you screw this up.  This puts
# a new program in as /etc/init, which then execs the real init.
