XEmacs Wrapper is a wrapper around the excellent XEmacs editor, which you will need to install via fink (into /sw/bin) or by compiling the source (into /usr/local/bin).

This wrapper integrates XEmacs into the Finder by providing a regular double-clickable application that will activate X11 and launch XEmacs. Of course, it completely supports drag-and-drop, too! Also, I enlarged and enhanced one of the classic XEmacs icons, so the Finder icon for this wrapper looks nice at 128x128.

You will need to install XEmacs:

by compiling the source (installs into /usr/local/bin), or
by using fink (installs into /sw/bin), or
by using DarwinPorts (installs into /opt/local/bin)

What's New:
Changed how X11 gets launched and made a minor change to how the $DISPLAY gets set.

Requirements:
You will need Apple's X11 in order to run XEmacs.
