Although, items coded as vectors ["---" nil nil] are not. I think it is better to fix the code which uses vector syntax, becuase this is wrong to treat it as a separator, for example, ["---" 'foo t] is a notmal menu item which calls foo and named "---". Of course, usage of ["---" nil nil] items is not documented. Kirill

b42-pre2 has been uploaded 25 years, 11 months

SL Baur

This pretty much clears out the incoming patch queue[1]. This is the last pre- before beta42 unless something is horribly wrong. There's a bunch of Lisp package changes pending that have highest priority now. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/testing/ http://cvs.xemacs.org/ Cumulative changes from beta41: -- pixel function naming cleanup from Greg Klanderman -- specifier fixes from Hrvoje Niksic -- tooltalk crash fix from Gunnar Evermann -- various changes from Andy Piper -- toolbar button size and glyph patch from Andy Piper -- Miscellaneous changes from Hrvoje Niksic -- Miscellaneous changes from Martin Buchholz -- warnings cleanup from Kirill Katsnelson -- msw graphics patch from Andy Piper Footnotes: [1] There's one DnD bounce and one new DnD patch still on it.

Re: .emacs vs .xemacs vs .xemacs.el vs...? 25 years, 11 months

The analogy definitely works. `.cshrc' is a special file, and can't be placed just anywhere. It's not just a random executable. The same goes for .emacs & friends. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Try to use "ad nauseam" at least once per flame.
