APA> Hello Michael, APA> is there a plan to make EFS work with natively built XEmacs-21.0 on APA> Windows NT (all the \-breakage, Du weißt schon)? Actually, the xemacs-nt folks have been very secretive about what the actual problems with EFS on NT are. However, I've received some mails about this, and I absolutely intend to do what I can to fix the problems once I understand them and their proposed solutions. This will have to wait until after the 21.0 release, though, I'm afraid. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
