Jareth, All of the *.png files under etc/ in the XEmacs source tree appear to have been added to the repository without being marked as binary. This doesn't matter for UNIX users, but for Windows users the default cvs ascii conversion trashes the data. I get: (image-conversion-error "Error decoding PNG" "PNG file corrupted by ASCII conversion" ...) when I try to open one. I think that running 'cvs admin -kb' on each of the *.png files ought to solve the problem. Jonathan. -- Jonathan Harris | jhar(a)tardis.ed.ac.uk London, England | Jonathan.Harris(a)symbian.com
