Adrian, Thanks for this patch. It has been applied to the 21.1 branch of XEmacs, and will appear in XEmacs 21.1.12. - vin APA> Hello Vin, hello All, APA> this is a 21.1 version of following patch, which did not apply cleanly APA> to 21.1.11: APA> It fixes the currently broken `insert-file-contents-literally', which APA> in turn broke `package-get'. APA> I have tested this patch by installing the "lookup" package from APA> xemacs.org. APA> Given the importance of an easy way to install XEmacs packages, this APA> patch alone may justify 21.1.12.
