To: XEmacs Beta <xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org&gt; Subject: [Bug: 21.4.18] vhdl moed --text follows this line-- ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! This should be a fairly easy process, yet there is no good documentation associated with the Windows version of XEmacs. Everything assumes UNIX.

- What happened. I downloaded the vhdl-mode package using the Tools-> Packages method. When I attempt to use a VHDL file I get the following error:

File mode specification error: (file-error "Searching for program" "No such file or directory" "xargs")

- What you thought should have happened. VHDL-mode should have started at program startup. - Precisely what you were doing at the time.
