XEmacs init.el

It's been almost eleven years since when I was introduced to GNU EMACS. It came in as a DOS based editor which failed to load files that were over 640k. This was followed by DPMI support which provided flaky support to open files larger than than and unreliable under Windows 3.1. I then migrated to GNU EMACS on win32 and finally settled down with XEmacs on XP.

Over the years, my (X)EMACS config file has and still undergoing changes and here is the latest configuration that I maintain.

Note: I am not a lisp hacker, but have basically accumulated a list of handy configuration options and snippets that were indispensable during the course of my programming career.
