GREED

an RGTP-based GROGGS reader for GNU Emacs and XEmacs

GREED stands for "Groggs Reader/Editor with Emacs Display" and is a client that runs under GNU Emacs and XEmacs and can be used for reading, replying to, and editing GROGGS. It was originally developed by Gareth Rees, was maintained by Owen Dunn for a while, had some modifications made by Richard Kettlewell, and then some further changes and fixes made by me, Peter Maydell.

It looks like RJK has picked up the maintenance baton again: you should go to his GREED page for the most recent version (which includes all the changes in the version here). I leave this page up for archive purposes only.

You can find Owen's version on his GREED web page. RJK's changes are only available as a patch.

Documentation

Texinfo documentation is provided with GREED, and should be viewable from within Info once GREED is installed.

Changes

I've called this version 1.4 mostly to keep it distinct from various previous versions and in particular those released by Owen. Interesting changes from 1.3:

highlighting support reimplemented to not use font-lock mode
highlighting now copes with various edge cases
network I/O is marked as iso-8859-1 -- this means that non-ASCII characters are handled correctly
added support for saving startup files without quitting
now displays sequence numbers in reply headers

I use GNU emacs 21, which works fine. I've done a brief smoke test on XEmacs 21 as well.

Files

Reminder: don't use these, go and use RJK's version instead!

greed-1.4.tar.gz - my latest stable version.
groggs-greed_1.4_all.deb - a Debian package of the above (works on 'etch')

Bugs

These bugs relate to GREED 1.3 -- they ought to be checked to see if they're still valid:

GREED 1.3 doesn't display the correct novice key help in the *composition* buffer.
Replying to an item changes what part of the item is visible.
The option key to set the index order does not work.
