Checked in at last a lot of improvementes and bug fixes. The oldest dating back to 1997-06-04. Please look at Changelog for details. Main changes are: - lots of code cleanups and optimizations - --globals is used not only for C-like languages - new option --ignore-case-regex - understands "operator" in C++ - support DOS file names by handling e.g. foo.cgz as if it were foo.c.gz. - Fortran: no tags for "procedure" - new option --declarations - regular expressions can be read from a file - regular expressions can be bound to a given language - Ada and Python languages added - my and local variables recognised in Perl - "(defstruct (foo", "(defun (operator" and similar Lisp constructs - interface in Java

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by [e-mail]: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
