It's a script: ,---- | DATE='/usr/bin/date' | DATE_FORMAT='+%Y%m%d-%T' | XEMACS_DIR='/usr/local/bin' | XEMACS_BIN='xemacs' | OUTPUT_FILE=${HOME}/.xemacs/beta-out-`$DATE $DATE_FORMAT` | | ${XEMACS_DIR}/$XEMACS_BIN "$＠" > $OUTPUT_FILE 2>&1 `---- Any way to guard against that? Right now, anybody running 21.4 or 21.5 from a script like this won't be able to build Latin-Unity or Mule-UCS packages. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
