31 ;; Soft: FG 2.0, DigiPaint 3.0, pbmplus (dec 91), xv 3.0.
32 ;; Modified for 19.11 by Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart <pelegri@eng.sun.com>
33 ;; and Chuck Thompson <cthomp@xemacs.org>
34 ;; More hacking for 19.12 by Chuck Thompson and Ben Wing.
35 ;; 19.13 and 19.14 updating done by Chuck Thompson.
36 ;; 19.15 and 20.0 updating done by Steve Baur and Martin Buchholz.
38 ;; Completely rewritten for 20.3 by Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@xemacs.org>.
39 ;; The original had no version numbers; I numbered the rewrite as 2.0.
40 ;; Extensively revamped and most text rewritten by Ben Wing
41 ;; <ben@xemacs.org> for 21.4.
43 ;; Revamped again by Steve Youngs <steve@sxemacs.org> for SXEmacs.
44 ;; Lets call it version 3.0 of this file.
46 ;; Many things in this file are to gag. Ideally, we should just use
47 ;; HTML (or some other extension, e.g. info) for this sort of thing.

56 ;; People in this list have their individual links from the main page,
57 ;; or from the `Legion' page. If they have an image, it should be
58 ;; named after the CAR of the list element (baw -> baw.png).
60 ;; If you add to this list, you'll want to update
61 ;; `about-personal-info' and `about-hackers', and add the name to one
62 ;; of the three mutually exclusive lists just below.

555 SXEmacs has Python-style raw strings. It greatly reduces \"backslashitis\"
556 when writing those hairy regexps. :-)

559 Raw string regexp: #r\"\\\(foo\\\|bar\\\)\"\n\n"
560 (about-with-face "* TTY font-locking" 'bold)
562 SXEmacs has improved font-locking in a TTY.\n\n"
563 (about-with-face "* More Image Formats Supported" 'bold)
565 This was mentioned under FFI, but it is worth noting again. With FFI
566 and libWand, SXEmacs can display any image format that is supported by
567 Imagemagick's libwand.\n\n"
568 (about-with-face "* Embeddable KBD Macros" 'bold)
570 With SXEmacs you can embed one keyboard macro inside another, not just
571 prepend or append, but anywhere within the macro. In other words you
572 can replay a macro while you are defining a macro.\n\n"
573 (about-with-face "* Server Sockets" 'bold)
575 Not only can SXEmacs initiate outgoing TCP/UDP connections like XEmacs can,
576 it can also create and listen for incomming TCP/UDP connections through the
577 use of server sockets. See `open-network-server-stream'.\n\n"
578 (about-with-face "* Multimedia" 'bold)
580 SXEmacs has quite extensive multimedia support. Not only can it display
581 practically every image format under the sun, it can also play a large
582 selection of audio formats such as: wav, au, mp3, mka, ogg, aac, ac3,
583 mp4, flac, mpc, and mpa. SXEmacs supports asynchronous playback.\n\n"
584 (about-with-face "* Skip Lists" 'bold)
586 SXEmacs has a basic implementation of Pugh's skip lists. Their
587 efficiency is overwhelming when compared to alists or plists. They
588 also perform better on insertion and removal than large hash-tables
589 \(due to the resizing/rehashing which takes place\). They can be
590 created almost as fast as lisp lists and thus beat hash-tables
592 (about-with-face "* Bloom Filters" 'bold)
594 Bloom filters are special purpose objects for fast membership tests.
595 They combine the speed of hash-tables with the flexibility of lisp's
596 `memq' function.\n\n"
