Mmm...Even Nakata-san gave up, don't you ? In fact, I've tried the
package xemacs-20 before, but error ocurred and never started.(This is
because xemacs-20 required library "libcompface.so.1.0"(file name may
be incorrect)

|This suggests that you need to allocate more purespace.  How, I'm not
|quite sure.  

Of cource, I added --puresize commandline option but it took no effects.
What's wrong ?
According to web pages which are written about xemacs (all of webmasters 
are not users of netbsd), They never encountered error which I did.

|Although it looked pretty cool, Xemacs-20 was unbearably slow on a 
|68040@40MHz with 48Mbytes of RAM. I wouldn't even try to run it on a

What you're going to say is that xemacs is too heavy on macbsd platform,
isn't it ?  It's smooth on Linux & FreeBSD which work on PC/AT & its close. 

But, xemacs is very cool!!

Thank you very much, Nakata-san.
