Require 'cl during byte-compilation/interactive load, for the `assert' macro. (allout-mode-deactivate-hook): New hook, is run when allout mode deactivates. (allout-developer): New allout customization subgroup. (allout-run-unit-tests-on-load): New allout-developer customization variable, when true allout unit tests are run towards end of file load/eval. (allout-inhibit-auto-fill): Disable auto-fill activity even during auto-fill-mode. (allout-resumptions): Removed, to be replaced by... (allout-add-resumptions): Register variable settings to be reinstated by `allout-do-resumptions'. The settings are made buffer-local, but the locality/globality of the suspended setting is restored on resumption. (allout-do-resumptions): Reinstate all settings suspended using `allout-add-resumptions'. (allout-test-resumptions): Unit tests (and intermediate variables) for resumptions. (allout-tests-globally-unbound, allout-tests-globally-true) (allout-tests-locally-true): Intermediate variables for resumptions unit tests. (allout-overlay-preparations): Replaces `allout-set-overlay-category'. (allout-exposure-category): Replaces 'allout-overlay-category variable. (allout-mode): Use `allout-add-resumptions' and `allout-do-resumptions' instead of retired `allout-resumptions'. For hook functions, use `local' parameter so hook settings are created and removed as buffer-local settings. Revise (resumptions) setting auto-fill-function so it is set only if already active. (The related fill-function settings are all made in either case, so that activating auto-fill-mode activity will have the custom allout-mode behaviors (hanging indent on topics, if configured for it). Also, remove all allout-exposure-category overlays on mode deactivation. (allout-hotspot-key-handler): New function extracted from `allout-pre-command-business', so the functionality can be used for other purposes, eg as a binding in an overlay. (allout-pre-command-business): Use new `allout-hotspot-key-handler'. (allout-auto-fill): Respect new `allout-inhibit-auto-fill' customization variable. (allout-run-unit-tests): Run the (currently quite small) repertoire of unit tests. Called just before the provide iff user has customized `allout-run-unit-tests-on-load' non-nil.

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]
