Re: Long filenames running xemacs on NT 4.0

Hi. Sorry, but I think I have to give up all further efforts to debug the "long file names" problems. After having spent some time trying to install the: XEmacs 21.4 (patch 9) \"Informed Management (Windows [3])\" XEmacs started complaining about my init.el file. Not being able to spot any errors in this file, I de-installed XEmacs on my PC, then deleted all traces of XEmacs. Then I reinstalled the 21.4.6 version (from the xemacs-21.4.6.exe, which also gives me the packages I want during installation). Last time I did this, I had no problems getting vhdl-mode after adding two lines to my init.el file. My current 21.4.6 installation seems to be identical to my previous installation of this version. I.e., my xemacs binary resides under: C:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.4.6\i586-pc-win32 while my various vhdl-mode files reside under: C:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\vhdl To my knowledge, the various vhdl-package files should now be covered by the default "load-path" (I know there's I way to get the value of this path, but I don't remember how to ...) However, now there no way I manage to load the vhdl-mode. When trying to open a vhd-file, I just get the error-msg: file mode specification error: (file-error "cannot open load file" "vhdl-mode") I'm begining to become a bit desperate now, as I guess it's only a matter of hours before my boss will instruct me to "scrap all your emacs stuff, start using vi from this moment". Is there any way you can guide me to make my vhdl-mode work again ? My "load-vhdl-mode" attempt can be seen in the two last lines in the attached init.el file. Desperate regards .......
