Dear Bug Team!
Trying to handle zipfiles (read, update) under XEmacs, I kept
hitting upon the msg when I wanted to save a changed file again
into the archive:
Invalid byte code: "attempt to let-bind non-symbol P,³ "
with various non-readable endings. See the report (with extra
info on end in order to simulate vanilla).
But, awakening, I renamed arc-mode.elc (14.1.2002, 11:12)
to x-arc-mode.elc, and presto, flawless functioning.
I haven't tried to recompile arc-mode.el.
Btw, what's the true XEmacs way of handling archives?
Thank you very much for all your (past) efforts.
Cheers,
Henk van Dorp
