(vc-cvs-show-log-entry): New function. (vc-cvs-stay-local): Allow it to be a hostname regexp as well. (vc-cvs-remote-p): Renamed to vc-cvs-stay-local-p. Handle hostname regexps. Updated all callers. (vc-cvs-responsible-p): Handle directories as well. (vc-cvs-could-register): New function. (vc-cvs-retrieve-snapshot): Parse "cvs update" output, keep file properties up-to-date. (vc-cvs-checkout): Do the right thing when the workfile does not exist. (vc-cvs-registered): Use new function vc-cvs-parse-entry to do the actual work. (vc-cvs-remote-p): Allow FILE to be a directory, too. (vc-cvs-dir-state): New function. (vc-cvs-dir-state-heuristic): New function, subroutine of the above. (vc-cvs-parse-entry): New function, also to be used in vc-cvs-registered. (vc-cvs-checkout): Slight restructuring to make the control-flow more clear and to avoid running `cvs' twice. (vc-cvs-workfile-version): Removed comment that this is not reached. It is. (vc-cvs-merge): Set state to 'edited after merge. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Set workfile version to nil if not known. (vc-cvs-latest-on-branch-p): Recommented. Candidate for removal. (vc-cvs-checkin): Raise the max-correct status from 0 to 1. Make sure to switch to *vc* before looking for an error message. Use vc-parse-buffer. (vc-cvs-create-snapshot): Swap DIR and NAME. (vc-cvs-retrieve-snapshot): New function (untested). (vc-cvs-stay-local): Default to t. (vc-cvs-remote-p): New function and property. (vc-cvs-state): Stay local only if the above is t. (vc-handle-cvs): Removed. (vc-cvs-registered): Don't check vc-handle-cvs -- it should all be done via vc-handled-backends now. (vc-cvs-header): Escape Id. (vc-cvs-state, vc-cvs-fetch-status): Use with-temp-file. Use the new BUFFER=t argument to vc-do-command. (vc-cvs-print-log, vc-cvs-diff): Insert in the current buffer. (vc-cvs-state): Use vc-do-command instead of vc-simple-command. (vc-cvs-diff): Remove unused and unsupported argument CMP. (vc-cvs-registered): Obey vc-handle-cvs. (vc-cvs-registered): Use with-temp-buffer. Reorder extraction of fields and call to file-attributes because of a temporary bug in rcp.el. (vc-cvs-fetch-status): Use with-current-buffer. Merge in code from vc-cvs-hooks.el. (proto vc-cvs-registered): Require 'vc-cvs instead of 'vc-cvs-hooks. Don't require 'vc anymore. (vc-cvs-responsible-p): Use expand-file-name instead of concat and file-directory-p instead of file-exists-p. (vc-cvs-create-snapshot): New function, replacing vc-cvs-assign-name. (vc-cvs-assign-name): Remove. (vc-cvs-header): New var. Update Copyright. (vc-cvs-diff): Remove unused `backend' variable. (vc-cvs-checkout): Only toggle read-only if the buffer is setup right. (tail): Provide vc-cvs. (vc-cvs-merge-news, vc-cvs-checkout): Removed call to vc-file-clear-masterprops. (vc-cvs-state): Typo. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Return the status code rather than the error msg. (vc-cvs-state): Don't overwrite a non-heuristic state with a heuristic one. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Just use 'edited for the case with conflicts. (vc-cvs-checkin): Do a trivial parse to set the state in case of error. That allows us to get to 'needs-merge even in the stay-local case. There's still no way to detect 'needs-patch in such a setup (or to force an update for that matter). (vc-cvs-logentry-check): Remove, the default works as well. (vc-cvs-print-log, vc-cvs-diff): Run cvs asynchronously. (vc-cvs-stay-local): Renamed from vc-cvs-simple-toggle. Redocumented. (vc-cvs-state): If locality is wanted, use vc-cvs-state-heuristic.

(vc-cvs-toggle-read-only): First cut at a function to allow a cvs-status-free vc-toggle-read-only. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Move from cvs-merge-news in vc.el. (vc-cvs-checkin): Use vc-recompute-state+vc-state instead of vc-cvs-status. Also set vc-state rather than vc-locking-user. (vc-cvs-checkout): Modify access rights directly if the user requested not to use `cvs edit'. And refresh the mode line. (if workfile' that got lost when the code was extracted from vc.el. And merged the tail with the rest of the code (not possible in the old vc.el where the tail was shared among all backends). And explicitly set the state to 'edited if `writable' is set. (vc-cvs-revert,vc-cvs-checkout): References to `vc-checkout-model' updated to `vc-cvs-update-model'. (vc-cvs-logentry-check): Function added. (vc-cvs-revert,vc-cvs-checkout): Function calls to `vc-checkout-required' updated to `vc-cvs-uses-locking'. (vc-cvs-admin): Added the query-only option as required by the vc.el file. (vc-cvs-annotate-difference): Updated to handle beginning of annotate buffers correctly. Rename `vc-uses-locking' to `vc-checkout-required'. Rename the `locked' state to `reserved'.

		 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.
