(gamegrid-face): new variable to emulate a buffer-local default face. (gamegrid-xbm): new variable; XBM image as a replacement for `gamegrid-xpm' on Emacsen compiled without XPM-support. (gamegrid-colorize-glyph): Ported XEmacs-code for the generation of images to Emacs. (gamegrid-match-spec): Call `gamegrid-make-image-from-vector' to convert XEmacs-type image descriptors. (gamegrid-color-display-p): Removed. (Use `display-colors-p' instead.) (gamegrid-make-image-from-vector): New function. Convert XEmacs' image descriptors. (gamegrid-display-type): Use Emacs' standard `display-.*-p' functions to check for display capabilities. Fix the recognition of image-support in Emacs 21 by this way. (gamegrid-hide-cursor): Removed. (gamegrid-setup-default-font): Ported the code from XEmacs to Emacs: create a new face and assign the variable `gamegrid-face' to it. Make sure that the face is not higher than the smallest image used by the game. (gamegrid-initialize-display): Use `(setq cursor-type nil)' instead of `gamegrid-hide-cursor'. (gamegrid-set-face): If `gamegrid-display-mode' is 'glyph, put an image in the buffer, instead of applying a face. (gamegrid-init-buffer): If `gamegrid-display-mode' is 'glyph, put the face held by `gamegrid-face' in an overlay over the whole buffer to emulate a buffer-local default-face.

README for Edition 2.8 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
980 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost
2.5 megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
