I was noodling around sourceforge, and noticed that there is a 
sourceforge project called emacs-on-aqua, now. How is this different from 
the mac-emacs project?

Hi Bill,

These are two separate efforts.  Some of the advantages of the
mac-emacs project are:

+ It is based on GNU Emacs 21.1.  So it has most of the features of
  version 21.

+ The Mac OS Classic code is part of the standard GNU Emacs source
  distribution.  The Mac OS X code will probably be part of 21.3 (you
  can currently get this as a patch).

+ It has international font/fontset and LEIM support.

The following is a distinguishing characteristic and not an advantage:

+ It uses the Carbon API to implement the GUI.

I've built and installed Emacs 21 on OS 10.1. All seems well, thus far.
I can't seem to start viper-mode, however. It works in the term window. 
But when .app version is run from finder, I get the following lisp error: 
Symbol's function definition is void: iconify-or-deiconify-frame. Tried 
make and make bootstrap. Same error. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

For now, please try defining a dummy version of this function before
starting viper-mode.  E.g.,

  (defun iconify-or-deiconify-frame () nil)

I'll fix this in a future version.

Andrew.

Andrew,
That seems to do the trick. Thanks for the help, and for your work.
Cheers
JL
