Sean: I'm not sure what the basis of your problem is. I've Cc'd the beta list on this message, and someone there might have a solution. If you don't hear anything from them, I would suggest raising this question in the comp.emacs.xemacs newsgroup. Good luck, john. Sean> Hi, [not sure who to send this to - thought you'd at least know Sean> who could handle it] Sean> I use Xemacs 21.1.4. I wanted to add a html editor to my Sean> installation so I used the (excellent) package management Sean> mode. I obtained the list of current packages from my closest Sean> xemacs mirror (doc.ic.ac.uk) and found that hm--html-menus will Sean> probably do the job. However, when I tried to download this Sean> package, xemacs spewed out an error stating that the package Sean> could not be found. I tried using a couple of other sites for Sean> download, but each of them gave the same response. Sean> So I looked into how this download mechanism works - looked up Sean> /pub/xemacs/packages on the xemacs.org server and found that Sean> there is no hm--html-menus package there. Then I had a look at Sean> the packages-index.LATEST file, and found that the Sean> hm--html-menus package is listed there. So I guess that there's Sean> an inconsistency between the files on the server and the index Sean> file. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John S Jacobs Anderson \ <URL:http://www.xemacs.org> You'll have to pry my Emacs from my cold \ jacobs(a)xemacs.org dead oversized control-pressing left pinky finger. -- Randal L.
