Neal> Symbol's value as variable is void: top-gutter ediff-wind.el doesn't check for gutter support before using it. The following patch is in ediff.el style and "obviously correct", but I don't have a no-gutter XEmacs around to test it. S'il vous plait....

Mark> ediff now expects gutter support. Actually it's just trying to disable it. Try M-: (setq top-gutter (make-specifier 'generic)) RET, then ediff. I don't recommend putting that in .emacs, but if you must, change the setq to defvar. The new package should be out in a week to ten days, subject to maintainer approval of the patch I just submitted. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
