I don't recall. I vaguely recall objections that the patches weren't
general enough.
I don't think I ever saw these. How exactly did they work? Would you
just do (open-database nil 'mswindows 'registry "rw")?
Would be kind of cool to have both a 'registry and an 'inifile type. You
could make the 'file' be the root of the registry to start searching in,
maybe "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" or something like that.
I thought I was subscribed to XEmacs-nt, but I guess I got bounced a
while ago and forgot to resubscribe (similar thing happened to xemacs-beta
when our telco went nuts for a while and our connection went boom).
