Hi Michael,
I have no idea what is allowed within IBM. I think it is better to ask your manager ;-) But the package xemacs is not in AIX Toolbox anymore, only emacs-X11:
Name : emacs-X11
Version : 29.1
Release : 1
Architecture : ppc
Size : 1.9 M
Source : emacs-29.1-1.src.rpm
Repository : AIX_Toolbox
Summary : The Emacs text editor for the X Window System.
URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs
License : GPL
Description : Emacs-X11 includes the Emacs text editor program for use with the X Window
: System (it provides support for the mouse and other GUI elements). Emacs-X11
: will also run Emacs outside of X, but it has a larger memory footprint than the
: 'non-X' Emacs package (emacs-nox).
:
: Install emacs-X11 if you're going to use Emacs with the X Window System. You
: should also install emacs-X11 if you're going to run Emacs both with and
: without X (it will work fine both ways). You'll also need to install the emacs
: package in order to run Emacs.
If you need xemacs package, feel free to ask IBM Open source team in the AIX Open Source forum.

I had xemacs installed on my AIX systems for many years. I needed to remove and reinstall libpng and as a result xemacs was also removed.

A software developer asked to reinstall xemacs and I can't find it within IBM. Is xemacs still allowed for use within IBM and if so, does anyone know where I can find it ?
Thanks in advance
