Subject: Problems with b91
X-Mailer: VM 6.33 under 20.3 "Vienna" XEmacs  Lucid (beta14)
Reply-To: Martin Buchholz <mrb@Eng.Sun.COM>

XEmacs thinks its version number is "-b90", not "19.16", as it should
be.  My guess is that configure is getting this from a comment (!) in
lisp/version.el.  

$ grep -n version= Makefile
Makefile:54:version=-b90

Someone else already pointed out the problem with the empty codename
escaping to the splash screen.

emacs-version
==> "19.16 \"\" XEmacs Lucid (beta91)"


The `-' vs. `_' in the key name problem is really bad.

If I build on sparc-sun-sunos4, I get this horrible result:
C-h c <kp-7>
==> nil runs the command self-insert-command

If I then try actually pressing <kp-7>, I get
last typed character has no ASCII equivalent: #<keypress-event nil>

On sparc-sun-solaris2.4, things are better, but the entire keypad is
undefined:
<kp-7>:
==> kp-home is undefined.

My guess is that global replace of the remaining kp_ in the lisp
sources to kp- will fix most of our problems.

All these problems need to be fixed before "shipping".
