Re: XEmacs, clearcase mode problem

David> Shouldn't it be done in expand-file-name (et.al.)? I doubt it. expand-file-name et al are basically intended to ensure that XEmacs has a canonical file name to work with. If you call expand-file-name on input file names immediately, then use the file name Lisp APIs, you _should_ always get names that XEmacs groks uniquely. But you will not necessarily be able to pass them to other programs and get sane results, if those programs expect to use different conventions for normalization. David> Can you test for Cygwin properly at the core level? (symbol-value 'system-type) will tell you whether XEmacs was compiled as a Cygwin application. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
