(2) What is the state of the GNU project? I have heard about gcc, gawk, gdb+, gcc+, and several other utilitys floating around. Are there any plans to put them on the tape? What about the OS? (3) About the MScreen{Width,Length} in config.h. Why so big? Can RMS tell me where I can get a 300x300 terminal? :-) I set them lower. (4) I find the lack of hex integers to be a problem. I just wrote a hex.el to convert a.out's to s-records (remember those?) and had to code my own string-to-hex. Any plans to include hex? (5) Is thereany way to stop evaluating a .el file? I had to enclose several defuns in a (if noninteractive) and of course {beg,end}-of-defun don't work right on them if I indent them correctly. (6) Is the elisp manual ever coming out? Can I get what's already available by subscribing to the gnu-manual list (whatever it's called or wherever it's located)? Does it still exist? (7) How about splitting off GDB and CPP from the EMACS distribution? I really don't need to FTP that stuff each time.
