* xselect.c (struct selection_event_queue, selection_queue) (x_queue_selection_requests, x_queue_event) (x_start_queuing_selection_requests) (x_stop_queuing_selection_requests): Add new queue for selection input events to replace previous XEvent queue in xterm.c. (queue_selection_requests_unwind): Adapt to new queue. (x_reply_selection_request): Adapt to new queue. Unexpect wait_object in case of x errors (memory leak). (x_handle_selection_request, x_handle_selection_clear): Make static. (x_handle_selection_event): New function. May queue selection events. (wait_for_property_change_unwind): Use save_value instead of cons. Clear property_change_reply_object. (wait_for_property_change): Abort if already waiting. Use save_value instead of cons for unwind data. (x_handle_property_notify): Skip events already arrived, but don't free them, as "arrived" field is checked by wait_for_property_change, and it will be freed by unwind or explicit unexpect_property_change. (x_get_foreign_selection): Add to new queue. (receive_incremental_selection): Don't unexpect wait_object when done as it has already been freed by previous wait_for_property_change.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

  http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit


[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
