Hi Jason (and XEmacs),

Alas, I recently (about a week ago) assigned my copyright for the
slides to the FSF for contribution to GNU Emacs. I am not sure whether
they could be persuaded to release this work into the public domain (I
assume that it is their decision to make now).

Sorry! I realize this is suboptimal for XEmacs. But let me know if
there is anything I can do to help out.

Regards,
Phil
