mike, first off, there's a doc problem:
`efs-auto-save' is a variable declared in Lisp.
-- loaded from "efs"
Value: t
Documentation:
*If 1, allows efs files to be auto-saved.
If 0, suppresses auto-saving of efs files.
Don't use any other value.
also, when i load up /ben@gwyn.tux.org:/etc/mail/xemacs, then hit `f' on
aliases-xemacs, make a change, and save, i get these messages:
CWD'ing to aliases-xemacs...
CWD'ing to aliases-xemacs...8k (42.1 KB/s)
CWD'ing to aliases-xemacs...9k (26.5 KB/s)

CWD'ing to aliases-xemacs...26k (5.8 KB/s)
CWD'ing to aliases-xemacs...done

why is it claiming to be CWD'ing to a file? [it saves fine, though]
third, efs has problems with
ftp.microsoft.com:
/ftp.microsoft.com:/
use f to go to kbhelp, hit f on ~ftpsvc~.ckm, you get a buffer named "® PÔï".
start over, use f to go to misc; f works on the file cbcp.txt, but most other
.txt files e.g. disclaim.txt give you the error
File not found and directory write-protected
and the culprit:
open

Steve Youngs has just released EFS package version 1.25. This is an
experimental prerelease of EFS available as
/ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/efs-1.25-pkg.tar.gz
In order to turn this into an official package release, I urgently
need your help in testing it. I've tested EFS on a number of servers,
but I only have access to Unix machines for client testing. So I
especially need some reports from Windows users, connecting to both
Unix and Windows ftp servers. This is especially as some subtle but
possibly crucial aspects of the EFS<->client interactions have
changed.
I'm slowly working towards a testing suite, but it is not yet done and
the urgency of the XEmacs/Cygwin situation has prompted me to try to
release earlier.
Let me emphasize that, if I cannot get some testing done by the
community, the release will be significantly delayed, as we cannot
risk putting out a faulty EFS to the general user community, given its
current prominent role in the XEmacs package system.
I appreciate your help.
