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.

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.
