I elected to use Linbot instead, as I'm more familiar with that. It's now installed and configured for the web maintainers to use; drop me a line privately if you need it and can't find it. Once I suss out the correct options, I'll get it set up as a cron job, so that the reports will update automatically. Of course, the dead links still aren't fixed, but I have now determined which ones they are (which presumably includes the ones that started this thread, at least as a subset). john. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John S Jacobs Anderson \ <URL:http://www.xemacs.org> You'll have to pry my Emacs from my cold \ jacobs(a)xemacs.org dead oversized control-pressing left pinky finger. -- Randal L.

If you look around, you should find a Python module or two. Anyway, good luck with your Perling. I know *I* need it. ObXEmacs: what Perl mode are people actually *using*?

Until that's done I'll just do everything using perl modules instead of spending my time re-inventing the perl^H^H^H^Hwheel :-) Adrian

The base64-tests file has been broken in the repository for a long time, and I'm still waiting for someone to fix it. The problem was that that file used to have a raw-zero character embedded in it, which CVS apparently doesn't grok. Even worse, I can't find a way to fix the situation, even after having removed the offending character. If you want, I'll mail you a working copy of the file.

Nope; I did something along the lines of: mv base64-tests.el foo cvs remove base64-tests.el cvs commit mv foo base64-tests.el cvs add base64-tests.el cvs commit Should I try something else? Or, you can try it yourself? Maybe we should organize a "remove base64-tests.el from CVS" contest, with Gnus tattoos as prizes. :-)
