32 ;;; Quick hack to use emacs as mail editor. There are a *bunch* of
33 ;;; changes scattered throughout emacs to make this work, namely:
34 ;;; (1) mod to sysdep.c to allow emacs to attach to a process other
35 ;;; than the one that originally spawned it.
36 ;;; (2) mod to kepteditor.com to define the logical emacs_parent_pid
37 ;;; which is what sysdep.c looks for, and define the logical
38 ;;; emacs_command_args which contains the command line
39 ;;; (3) mod to re-parse command line arguments from emacs_command_args
40 ;;; then execute them as though emacs were just starting up.
