Re: Emacs without X in Debian?

[Patrick Colbeck <pat.colbeck@esc.azlan.co.uk>]

Xemacs certainly doesnt need X. It used to be called Lucid Emacs (no
reference to X). The version in the Debian debs is compliled with X
support so if you launch it in X it will run as an X app but if you
start it in a real console it will run fine or in an Xterminal do
Xemacs -nw and it will stay as a console app.

Infact that is how I use it to read my mail on my work PC from hoem
over dialin as the X version of Xemacs takes too long to load up over
a modem line.
