Changes for automatic remapping of X colors on terminal frames: * xfaces.c (XColor) [!HAVE_X_WINDOWS]: Provide a typedef for non-X frames. (Vface_tty_color_alist): Remove. (tty_defined_color): New function. (defined_color): Rewrite to support any type of frame. (tty_color_name): New function. (face_color_supported_p, Fface_color_gray_p, Fface_color_supported_p): Support non-X frames. (load_color): Enclose the color name in quotes, in the log messages. Remove DOS-specific version of load_color. (realize_tty_face): Take the supported colors from tty-color-alist. Support translation of X colors to the closest tty color, for both MSDOS and tty frames. [MSDOS]: Don't invert face colors if they were taken from the frame colors. (Fface_register_tty_color, Fface_clear_tty_colors): Remove. * frame.h (struct x_output) [!MSDOS, !WINDOWSNT, !HAVE_X_WINDOWS]: Define a mostly empty surrogate. (tty_display): Declare. * frame.c (make_terminal_frame) [!macintosh]: Don't use tty_display. (Fframe_parameters): Don't invert colors of non-FRAME_WINDOW_P frames when the frame's param_alist includes 'reverse. (tty_display): Define. (make_terminal_frame) [!MSDOS]: Assign &tty_display to the output_data.x member. (Fframe_parameters): Return foreground and background color names on tty frames as well, in addition to MSDOS frames. * msdos.h (DisplayWidth, DisplayHeight): Changes for Lisp_Object selected_frame. (struct x_output): Remove unused members; document who uses each member. (FRAME_PARAM_FACES, FRAME_N_PARAM_FACES, FRAME_DEFAULT_PARAM_FACE, FRAME_MODE_LINE_PARAM_FACE, FRAME_COMPUTED_FACES, FRAME_N_COMPUTED_FACES, FRAME_SIZE_COMPUTED_FACES, FRAME_DEFAULT_FACE, FRAME_MODE_LINE_FACE, unload_color): Remove unused macro definintions. * msdos.c (IT_set_frame_parameters): Don't call recompute_basic_faces, the next redisplay will, anyway. (x_current_display): Remove unused variable. Many functions: changes for Lisp_object selected_frame. (IT_set_face): If the tty_reverse_p flag is set for the face, reverse the foreground and background colors. (Fmsdos_remember_default_colors): New function. (syms_of_msdos): Defsubr it. (IT_set_frame_parameters): Use initial_screen_colors[] when creating a new frame. If the frame parameters include 'reverse, swap the foreground and background colors. (internal_terminal_init): Initialize initial_screen_colors to -1. (syms_of_msdos): Add DEFVAR_BOOL for x-stretch-cursor, to shut up cus-start.el. * Makefile.in (lisp, shortlisp): Add lisp/term/tty-colors.elc. * xfns.c (x_defined_color): Rename from defined_color. All callers changed. (Fxw_color_defined_p): Renamed from Fx_color_defined_p; all callers changed. (Fxw_color_values): Renamed from Fx_color_values; all callers changed. (Fxw_display_color_p): Renamed from Fx_display_color_p; all callers changed. (x_window_to_frame, x_any_window_to_frame, x_non_menubar_window_to_frame, x_menubar_window_to_frame, x_top_window_to_frame): Use !FRAME_X_P instead of f->output_data.nothing. * xterm.h (x_defined_color): Rename from defined_color. * w32fns.c (x_window_to_frame): Use FRAME_W32_P instead of f->output_data.nothing. (Fxw_color_defined_p): Renamed from Fx_color_defined_p; all callers changed. (Fxw_color_values): Renamed from Fx_color_values; all callers changed. (Fxw_display_color_p): Renamed from Fx_display_color_p; all callers changed. * dispextern.h (tty_color_name): Add prototype. * xmenu.c (menubar_id_to_frame): Use FRAME_WINDOW_P instead of f->output_data.nothing. * w32menu.c (menubar_id_to_frame): Likewise. * w32term.h (w32_output): Declare. * dosfns.c (Qmsdos_color_translate): Remove. (msdos_stdcolor_name): Now returns a Lisp_Object. * dosfns.h (Qmsdos_color_translate): Remove. * s/msdos.h (INTERNAL_TERMINAL): Add entries for color support.

		 Emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95

This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on
Windows NT and Windows 95.  This port supports all of the major
functionality of the Unix version, including subprocesses, windowing
features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple frames, etc.), and
networking support.

Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to

	ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/latest

for the latest precompiled distributions.

* Preliminaries

To compile Emacs, you will need a Microsoft C compiler package.  For
NT, this can be any of the SDK compilers from NT 3.1 and up, Microsoft
Visual C++ for NT (versions 1.0 and up), or Microsoft Visual C++
(versions 2.0 and up).  For Windows 95, this can be Microsoft Visual
C++ versions 2.0 and up.

* Building and installing

See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on
building and installing Emacs on your system.

* Further information

If you have access to the World Wide Web, I would recommend pointing
your favorite web browser to the document (if you haven't already):

	http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html

This web document serves as a FAQ and a source for further information
about the port and related software packages.

There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this
port of Emacs.  For information about the list, send a message to
[e-mail] with the word "info" in the
*body* of the message.  To subscribe to the list, send a message to
the same address with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message;
similarly, to unsubscribe from the list, send a message with the word
"unsubscribe" in the message body.

You are also always welcome to send me mail directly.  If you don't
hear from me immediately, however, don't worry; it sometimes takes me
a few days (or longer) to get to all of my mail regarding Emacs.

* Reporting bugs

If you encounter bugs in this port of Emacs, first check the FAQ on
the web page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are
any workarounds.  If not, then I would like to hear about it; either
send a bug report to the mailing list, or to me directly (I would
recommend sending to the list first).

Enjoy.
