.flc extension

James> (fast-lock-cache-data 2 (quote (15152 . 51767)) This is Lisp data, created by the fast-lock package. Font-locking (aka syntax highlighting) takes a perceptibly long time, especially for large files, so packages that speed up the process have been written. fast-lock writes a cache file which allows font-lock-mode to remember what should be high-lighted. lazy-lock and lazy-shot are two alternative accelerators that don't create cache files. You can delete the .flc files without fear, although that would sorta make use of fast-lock useless.... For more information M-x find-library RET fast-lock RET (resp. lazy-lock, lazy-shot) (I don't know of info references for these, but the sources are copiously commented.) -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
