-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.

+Classic and Mac OS X. Many of the major features of the Unix version
+are supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of

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).
+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
+Mac OS Classic (non-Carbon build only) although Unix commands that are
+used will need to be ported.
+
+MPW-GM (August 2001) can be used to build Emacs on the Mac OS Classic.
+On Mac OS X, Emacs can be built using the Developer Tools. See the
+INSTALL file in this directory for instructions on building Emacs.
+
+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:
+
++ Support for PostScript image type is not available.
-There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process)
-although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the
-Mac.
++ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal
+ binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture.
-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.
+If your Mac is connected to the Internet, report bugs by typing `M-x
+report-emacs-bug' or by choosing the entry `Send Bug Report...' in
+the `Help' menu. This will send the bug report to the address
+emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.
