Re: files with extension .EL ??

They have extension .EL instead of .el so batch-update-directory doesn't puke and die on them since they're pure poison. Does this hack work with (partially?) case-insensitive file systems, e. g. vfat? I don't do mule so it shouldn't really affect me, but I can't help but think that another naming convention would be better. Maybe .el.broken? FWIW, I regularly use a similar hack in development directories, but I upcase the whole name to temporarily move a ile out of the way or stash a soon-to-be-obsoleted version. This makes the file rise to the top of my dired buffers and increases the chances that I'll remember to whack it before the directory is distributed to anyone other than me. Rick
