Emacs 17 comes with its own doctor

• Gnu Emacs version 17 is now available. See the article HOW TO GET GNU EMACS and our Order Form elsewhere in this bulletin.

• Gnu Emacs 17 works on system V. Even subshells work.

• The online Emacs manual is available through the info command.

• Outline mode now allows the user to selectively hide or display the subtree of an item.

• TeX and Nroff editing modes have been added.

• C editing mode has been made smarter. It now understands how to indent else clauses.

• Consistency between modes has been improved by assigning some commands to different keys.

• Toys. To the disassociated press has been added:

  • hanoi, the (slightly) animated puzzle solver,
  • yow, a Zippy saying producer, and
  • doctor, the infamous psychiatrist.

The folks on net.emacs have sent a suggestion for yowza which lets you watch the doctor respond to yow.
