[ESS] [ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.2.7; fails to load in xemacs-sumo 5/13/06

[A.J. Rossini]

Please keep ess-help in the reply list; I'm less responsive than I used to be.

Anyway, this is true, and was mentioned in this list.  The folks on
ESS-core who are using XEmacs don't have time (read: patience,
inclination, appropriate positions, etc, etc) to keep ESS as a default
package in XEmacs.  So, you need to D/L the xemacs package for ESS
separately.

If anyone does want to take on this issue (and can promise to hang on
to the job for a few years), I'm sure that the rest of the core team
would be grateful and interested.  Esp if we could get someone who can
delve a bit into the small bugs that are creeping into the code as
XEmacs/Emacs diverge over time.   (not solve the problem, but who can
do some of the leg work).
