Start of work on bidi Emacs 23/24. bidi.c (bidi_initialize): Fix initialization of bidi_type_table. xdisp.c (set_iterator_to_next): Fix position setting after call to bidi_get_next_char_visually. bidi.c: Include stdio.h unconditionally. Fix and elaborate commentary. Add Copyright blurb.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
