Hello
I do remember that it is possible to have strings or regexp replaced in
marked string using some dired enhancement, but I don't remember how
exactly.
Can somebody please help me
Thanks

Right.
Changing the topic _slightly_, since it seems that my mail does not
got through the auctex mailing list (at least I don't receive them)
here is a copy of what I sent some minutes ago.

| Hello
|
| As discussed already in the XEmacs-beta list, I will try again to
| synchronise 11.84 with the official XEmacs auctex package. Since I am
| not sure whether I will be successful, and since a mayor complain for
| the missing synchronisation has been that you receive bug reports
| concerning the outdated official XEmacs package, I thought that
| besides my intend to synchronise, I would like to change the relevant
| addresses for submitting bug reports.
| My question is: where does this address occur, one seem to me in
| tex.el
| in the function (and the like)
| (reporter-submit-bug-report
| "auc-tex(a)sunsite.dk"
|
|
| But then I should change also for example
| etc/slides.el:;; Maintainer: auc-tex(a)sunsite.dk
|
|
| Is this correct? Or is there any other place to look for. Recall
| this is just an emergency solution.

Well official packages yes, but not 3rd party ones. While Debian dpkg
can install and un install such packages, the pui interfaces
can't deal with them (sigh :( )

For me this would be fine, but honestly I have no strong opinions
concerns about that point and prefer to leave this decisions to others.

Right, but at least you would not get outdated bug reports, I am
anyhow not sure that such a version will be so much easier to compile
but I might try just out of curiosity.

Well but if the relevant address were changed you wouldn't get such
reports wouldn't you?

I disagree here. There is a difference to add
(require 'tex-site) or
the like to a .emacs file
than to try to install even a complied Xemacs package which you
offer. I presume we simply are thinking of different users
here. Especially users of the MS Windows environment are not used to
unpack packages in some directories they don't know. Believe me there
are a lot of users still using (La)TeX but they are not hackers at
all. Anyhow I don't want to start a flamewar on this but to start to
synchronise. Let us hope the best (any help would be appreciate as
always.)

I was just trying to say that for all external distributed packages
there is always the risk that there is a version skew between
the version of the XEmacs Packages the packages was built against and
the version actually in use.

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened. I had been expecting a response but
didn't see any, now today it looks like 3 showed up. Either they got
stuck someplace or I've lost too many brain cells along the way.
Maybe a bit of both. :-)

I'll take a look at this later. I've got to head out of town on Wed
for 2 weeks. I don't think I'll be able to do much before then, so
I'll try to track this down once I get back.

OK. Doesn't sound that complicated. What are the template files for?
We are just compiling elisp-files. Where do the templates come in?

OK. I think I see your point. If there is a "full source code" claim
and it is found offensive I think IMHO that it should be dropped. A
reference to the AUCTeX-package and where it can be found should
suffice though to satisfy the GPL (But I'm no lawyer etc etc)

Indeed:-) . Sorry, I won’t get to this for, umm, a while; I have various
