(hi-lock-mode): Toggling hi-lock-mode now affects all buffers. When hi-lock turned on rather than only checking current buffer for regexps, all buffers are checked. Moved activation of font-lock to hi-lock-refontify. When font-lock turned off rather than removing added highlighting just in current buffer, remove it in all buffers. Changed edit menu text from "Automatic Highlighting" to "Regexp Highlighting" Documentation for highlighting phrases, minor documentation changes. (hi-lock-set-file-patterns): Execute only if there are new or existing file patterns. (hi-lock-refontify): Assume font-lock-fontify-buffer will first unfontify and, if a support mode is active, will not refontify the whole buffer. If necessary, turn on font lock. (Removed font-lock-unfontify and font-lock support-mode-specific calls, such as lazy-lock-fontify-window.) (hi-lock-find-patterns): Do not turn on hi-lock-mode even if patterns are found. Not useful now since find-file-hook is removed if hi-lock is off, but may be needed for per-buffer hi-lock activation. (hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer): New function. Also added related menu item and keybinding. (highlight-phrase): New alias, to hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer. (hi-lock-process-phrase): New function. (hi-lock-line-face-buffer): Doc fixes. (hi-lock-face-buffer): Doc fixes. (hi-lock-unface-buffer): Doc fixes.

GNU Emacs for Mac OS

This directory contains the files needed to build GNU Emacs on the Mac
OS (8.1-9.0).  Many of the major features of the Unix version are
supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the
mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding
systems.

Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder,
transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and
sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs.

The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous
subprocesses (start-process), and networking
(open-network-connection).

There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process)
although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the
Mac.

Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be
used to build Emacs on the Mac OS.  See the INSTALL file in this
directory for instructions on building Emacs.

Binary distributions are available at

  http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/index.html

At this site you can also find an FAQ, mailing lists, and dicussion
forums for discussing issues related to running GNU Emacs on Mac OS.
