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 certain image types (such as XPM) is not as extensive as
- on other plaforms.
++ Support for PostScript image type is not available.
+ Incorporate Apple's wrappers to be able to create a universal
binary that unexecs on first run for the given architecture.
