Re: package-get-index corrupted?

Hi Jan, I get this when I Add Download Site xemacs.org and do List _ Install[1] Listing /anonymous＠ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages/... Listing /anonymous＠ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages/...done Buffer does not contain package-get database entries I guess it manifests the problem you report here. I had seen it yesterday evening but attributed it to a weekend spent in front of my computer. So it wasn't me after all? Jan> The package-get-index-1998-11-28.pgp (which is the current Jan> package-get-index.LATEST.pgp) is much smaller and seems to Jan> contain random binary junk. It does even see, to be Jan> gzip/compress output. Did something go wrong? Jan> Jan Footnotes: [1] Which reminds me: How about this little patch to make List & Install show up under WindowsNT?
