This is mostly bugfixes, but note that the HP-UX and FreeBSD specific
configure problems have not been dealt with yet.

Known problems:
* DOC file generation doesn't appear to grok defsubst autoloads.
  There are four new ones in mule-util.el.

Warning: doc lost for function string-to-vector.
Warning: doc lost for function string-to-sequence.
Warning: doc lost for function nested-alist-p.
Warning: doc lost for function string-to-list.


* Reported lossage in HP-UX and FreeBSD has not been fixed yet.

* Reported Ebola warnings in psgml have not been fixed yet.

* I haven't had a chance to make any updates to previously reported
  build deficiencies (ie dependency foulups in src/Makefile).

Features:
* Bug fixes -- lots of stuff from Hrvoje, lazy Good For Nothing lock
  has been reverted to the version used in XEmacs 19.14 at the
  directions of Ben Wing.  Please send any problems, bug reports,
  etc. about this to Ben Wing <ben@666.com>.

* Custom, ph.el, W3, reftex.el, and time.el received updates.

* Mule support got a big synch with Emacs Mule zeta.

* CC Mode got a major version update to 5.11.

* The new View Process package was added.

*Next beta is due Saturday*, unless it takes longer to fix the
HP/FreeBSD problems.

The patches are in
	xemacs-20.3-b8-20.3-b9.patch.gz
See etc/BETA for patching instructions.  BEWARE of patch programs more 
recent than 2.1 as the required parameters have changed.

The full kit is divided into 4 pieces:
	xemacs-20.3-b9.tar.gz
The primary Lisp/C/etc. sources.

	xemacs-20.3-b9-info.tar.gz
The info tree if you do not have a recent patched version of makeinfo.

	xemacs-20.3-b9-elc.tar.gz
Fresh bytecompiled lisp.  Unlike beta5, this no longer contains the
LEIM .elcs.

	xemacs-20.3-b9-LEIM.tar.gz
Quail input method.  Not all of Quail is functional yet.  If there is
no .elc file the corresponding .el does not work in this beta.
