Whether sex.1 is offensive or not, it just doesn't belong in the GNU Emacs ? distribution. It has nothing at all to do with the editor. Am I wrong ? in thinking that a distribution of an editor should contain only files ? that aid in the use of that editor? Yes you are. Unix is distributed with games. Some people find them inappropriate for an operating system. The US Government even requires that they be deleted. GNU Emacs has always been distributed with extraneous fluff, including yow, doctor, towers of hanoi (communist propaganda?), and a Mrs. Field's like cookie recipe. The criteria is `all the GNUS that fits'. On one tape. ? kyle jones, odu computer science ? ARPA: kyle@xanth.cs.odu.edu CSNET: kyle@odu.csnet ?
