Re: Help test EFS
Since this is getting pretty ugly, an alternative is to stick with
telling users to customise efs-ftp-program-name to point to the version
of ftp.exe that ships with Windows.
Can XEmacs elisp access Windows environment variables? If so, this should
always be available at %SystemRoot%\system32\ftp.exe, at least on NT/2000
boxes.
