This directory contains the files needed to build Emacs on the Mac OS

-supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the

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 supported on Mac OS 8/9 : unexec (dump-emacs),
+The following are not supported on Mac OS Classic: unexec (dump-emacs),
asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking
(open-network-stream). These features work fine on Mac OS X.
There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) on

Read the Mac OS section of the on-line help to find out about how to
use Emacs on the Mac.
A number of things do not work yet:
-+ Emacs does not respond correctly to C-g under certain circumstances.
- Sending the Emacs process a SIGINT externally will cause it
- to interrupt. This is due to the architecture of OSX's
- Window Manager.
++ Support for PostScript image type is not available.
-+ Support for certain image types (such as XPM) is not as extensive as
- on other plaforms.
++ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal
+ binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture.
