It tries to reproduce the functionality offered by Emacs under X. ;; The "gpm" server runs under Linux, so this package is rather ;; Linux-dependent. ;; The file, t-mouse.el was originally written by Alessandro Rubini and Ian T ;; Zimmerman, and Emacs communicated with gpm through a client program called ;; mev. Now the interface with gpm is directly through a Unix socket, so this ;; file is reduced to a single minor mode macro call. ;; ;;; Code: ;; Prevent warning when compiling in an Emacs without gpm support.
