That sounds like a good thing.  When I took care of some of the
multi-tty merge, I fixed some of the Carbon port to the best of my
knowledge without even trying to compile the code.  IIRC Dan then fixed
my rough-draft enough that the code compiled and didn't crash right
away.  We're still waiting for someone to actually finish the merge
w.r.t the Carbon port.  This can only be done by someone who understand
enough of the Carbon port.  You seem like our best hope here.

I do not know why you seem to be so offended by the multi-tty code.
Maybe if you explained it, we could work it through.  Its being
non-working and without anybody willing to fix it is basically the main
reason why we started to look into the Emacs.app code.  It is a pity to
throw away this code.

Everybody makes mistakes.  Now, can we go back to improving Emacs
instead of bitching at each other?
