This prompts me to ask:

1. What features will Emacs 19 have, especially as compared with Epoch 3.2?  I
   hear so much about how nice Epoch is on an X display, compared to
   "standard" Emacs.

2. >>Approximately<< when will Emacs 19 be out?

I ask these questions, not to inveigle a firm committment date, but to help me
determine whether I should port Epoch 3.2 to my RS6000/AIX3.1 and use it for a
while, or would I be better off waiting for the fabled Emacs 19.  I don't want
to spend the effort doing the former if the latter will be ready within a time
frame small enough to make me regret it.  So, is there any possibility of
getting Emacs 19 out before, say, October?
