From: Conrad Taylor <conradwt(a)yahoo.com> > How are you doing? I am almost there. I had to define a printer driver with no spaces in its name. I'm still unable to print (I get an lseek error) with (setq lpr-command ""), but (setq lpr-command "print") works, except for using the wrong write-coding system. > I was wondering, what directory > should one place the file, dos-w32.el? If this needs > to be compiled, how does one compile it? Put it anywhere in your load-path. You don't need to compile it, but you can use byte-compile-file if you want to. You'll need to define subst-char-in-string (this definition was taken from FSF emacs 20.4 subr.el) (defun subst-char-in-string (fromchar tochar string &optional inplace) "Replace FROMCHAR with TOCHAR in STRING each time it occurs. Unless optional argument INPLACE is non-nil, return a new string." (let ((i (length string)) (newstr (if inplace string (copy-sequence string)))) (while (> i 0) (setq i (1- i)) (if (eq (aref newstr i) fromchar) (aset newstr i tochar))) newstr)) You may also need to do something about... (or (eq coding-system-for-write 'no-conversion) (setq coding-system-for-write (aref eol-type 1))) ...because an eol-type of nil can't be aref'd.

Note that there a lot of audio libraries named libaudio so would have to do some magic with nm to find out what kind it actaully is. Jan

Anyway, with vm-flush-interval set to T, what happens is that more than half of the time is spent in running vm summary function. I wonder why that is. Some more digging needed. Ray

Indeed. I want to get the neXtaw scrollbars; I have an affectation for the NeXT look :) Out of interest, does anyone out there have headers anywhere except in `Xaw3D/*.h' or `Xaw/*.h'? Also, are there any Athena libraries other than Xaw, Xaw3D and neXtaw that people want available?

I, for one, would definitely dislike this.

Another update of ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/README.aux 25 years

Martin Buchholz

I've added a stanza for esound, since I've just rewritten the configure support for it. Previous updates to this file added makepatch and a bunch of other cleanups. I would be really happy if someone could htmlize README.aux and put it up on www.xemacs.org. Martin -------------- README.aux follows --------------------------------- This directory contains programs that are not included in the XEmacs distribution, but which are either used by various packages that are in the distribution or are enhancements which can be compiled into XEmacs. Where available, ftp sites, web home pages, and configure flags (although you should never have to specify library configure flags since they are autodetected) are indicated below. This list was accurate as of 1999-11-11. Databases: ---------- There are four DBM implementations supported by XEmacs: native dbm (provided by OS), GDBM, Berkeley DB version 1, Berkeley DB version 2.
