(Keep me updated as to any private Greg> responses.) XEmacs-21.2 beta has the `indirect-buffers' feature now, thanks to Hrvoje Niksic. It works pretty well, but the copy I'm running right now will crash if you use search and replace in an indirect buffer. There are a few uncommitted patches he sent through this week that are needed before it will be stable enough to use... I imagine that by next week sometime they'll have it in CVS. You might want to become a beta tester and try it out. :-) http://cvs.xemacs.org You can find the -r tag you need for 21.2 by browsing the repository there with cvsweb. I guess Emacs 20 also has this feature; though it cannot manage separate font locking / text properties in the main buffer and the indirect buffer like XEmacs can.
