Make (many) trivial substitutions for renamed and new macros in dispextern.h, frame.h and window.h. (make_window): Initialize new members left_margin_cols, right_margin_cols, left_fringe_width, right_fringe_width, fringes_outside_margins, scroll_bar_width, and vertical_scroll_bar_type. (coordinates_in_window): Adapted to new fringe/margin positions and per-window fringes and scroll-bars. Fix bug related to incorrectly adjusting coordinates by frame's internal_border_width (the effect normally negible since the internal_border_width is typically 0 or 1 pixel, but very noticeable for an internal_border_width of e.g. 25 pixels). Upon successful return (other than ON_NOTHING), the coordinates are now always properly converted to window relative for the given display element. (window_from_coordinates): Add new parameters wx and wy to return the window relative x and y position in the returned window and part. A null arg means, don't return the position. All callers changed. (adjust_window_margins): New function which may reduce the width of the display margins if a window's text area is too small after resizing or splitting windows. (size_window): Fix bug that did not account for display margin widths when checking the minimum width of a window; use adjust_window_margins. (set_window_buffer): Call Fset_window_fringes and Fset_window_scroll_bars to setup per-window elements. Add new arg KEEP_MARGINS_P. Non-nil means to keep window's existing display margin, fringe widths, and scroll bar settings (e.g. after splitting a window or resizing the frame). All callers changed. (Fset_window_buffer): New arg KEEP_MARGINS. All callers changed. (Fsplit_window): Duplicate original window's display margin, fringe, and scroll-bar settings; then call Fset_window_buffer with KEEP_MARGINS non-nil. This fixes a bug which caused a split window to only preserve the display margins in one of the windows. When splitting horisontally, call adjust_window_margins on both windows to ensure that the text area of the new windows is non too narrow. This fixes a bug which could cause emacs to trap if the width of the split window was less than the width of the display margins. (window_box_text_cols): Renamed from window_internal_width. All uses changed. Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars. Fix bug that caused vertical separator to be subtracted also on window frames. Fix another bug that did not reduce the returned value by the columns used for display margins. (window_scroll_line_based): Fix bug related to scrolling too much when display margins are present (implicitly fixed by the fix to window_box_text_cols). (scroll_left, scroll_right): Fix bug related to scrolling too far by default when display margins are present (implicitly fixed by the fix to window_box_text_cols). (struct saved_window): Rename members left to left_col, top to top_line, width to total_cols, height to total_lines, orig_top to orig_top_line, orig_height to orig_total_lines. All uses changed. New members left_margin_cols, right_margin_cols, left_fringe_width, right_fringe_width, fringes_outside_margins, scroll_bar_width, and vertical_scroll_bar_type for saving per-window display elements. (Fset_window_configuration): Restore display margins, fringes, and scroll bar settings. This fixes a bug which caused display margins to be discarded when saving and restoring a window configuration. (save_window_save): Save display margins, fringes, and scroll bar settings. This fixes a bug which caused display margins to be discarded when saving and restoring a window configuration. (Fset_window_margins): Do nothing if display margins are not really changed. Otherwise, call adjust_window_margins to ensure the text area doesn't get too narrow. This fixes a bug which could cause emacs to trap if setting display margins wider than the width of the window. (Fset_window_fringes): New defun to allow user to specifically set this window's fringe widths and position vs. display margins. (Fwindow_fringes): New defun to return window's actual fringe settings. (Fset_window_scroll_bars): New defun to allow user to specifically set this window's scroll bar width and position. (Fwindow_scroll_bars): New defun to return window's actual scroll bar settings. (compare_window_configurations): Also compare display margins, fringes, and scroll bar settings. (syms_of_window): Defsubr new defuns for fringe and scroll bars.

	     Emacs for Windows NT/2000 and Windows 95/98/ME

  Copyright (c) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  See the end of the INSTALL file in this directory for copying permissions.

  This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on
  Windows NT, Windows 95, and their successors.  This port supports all
  of the major functionality of the Unix version, including
  subprocesses, windowing features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple
  frames, etc.), and networking support.

  Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/latest/

  for the latest precompiled distributions.

* Building and installing

  See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on
  building and installing Emacs on your system.

* Further information

  There is a web page that serves as a FAQ for the Windows port of
  Emacs (a.k.a. NTEmacs) at:

	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html

  There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this
  port of Emacs.  For information about the list, see this Web page:

	http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows

  To ask questions on the mailing list, send email to
  [e-mail].  (You don't need to subscribe for that.)
  To subscribe to the list or unsubscribe from it, fill the form you
  find at http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows as
  explained there.

  Another valuable source of information and help which should not be
  overlooked is the various Usenet news groups dedicated to Emacs.
  These are particularly good for help with general issues which aren't
  specific to the Windows port of Emacs.  The main news groups to use
  for seeking help are:

	gnu.emacs.help
	comp.emacs

  There are also fairly regular postings and announcements of new or
  updated Emacs packages on this group:

	gnu.emacs.sources

* Reporting bugs

  If you encounter a bug in this port of Emacs, we would like to hear
  about it.  First check the file etc/PROBLEMS and the FAQ on the web
  page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are any
  workarounds.  If not, then check whether the bug has something to do
  with code in your .emacs file, e.g. by invoking Emacs with the "-q
  --no-site-file" options.

  If you decide that it is a bug in Emacs that might be specific to the
  Windows port, send a message to the [e-mail]
  mailing list describing the bug, the version of Emacs that you are
  using, and the operating system that you are running on (Windows NT,
  95 or 98 including service pack level if known).  If the bug is
  related to subprocesses, also specify which shell you are using (e.g.,
  include the values of `shell-file-name' and `shell-explicit-file-name'
  in your message).

  If you think the bug is not specific to the Windows port of Emacs,
  then it is better to mail the bug report to [e-mail] so
  that it will be seen by the right people.  If Emacs has been set up to
  send mail, you can use the command M-x report-emacs-bug to create and
  send the bug report, but in some cases there is a function to report
  bugs in a specific package; e.g. M-x gnus-bug for Gnus, M-x
  c-submit-bug-report for C/C++/Java mode, etc.
