EdEarl> Is anyone currently using XEmacs EFS to access files on a Guardian OS EdEarl> (Tandem mainframe). The copyright on efs.el is 1993 and cites the following EdEarl> developers: EdEarl> Andy Norman (ange(a)hplb.hpl.hp.com) EdEarl> Sandy Rutherford (sandy(a)ibm550.sissa.it) EdEarl> I previously posted an email to Andy, as HP currently owns, maintains and EdEarl> sells Tandem computers. So far I've not received a response. The user EdEarl> documentation for EFS/Guardian is somewhere between Spartan and EdEarl> non-existent. Using it, I cannot tell if my problems are user error or a EdEarl> bug. If necessary, I'll debug the problem, but hope someone can save me a EdEarl> bit of time. RSVP The bottom line is that efs-guardian.el in the currently released EFS doesn't work. The good news is that I've rewritten large portions of that file for the next release with the help of an external tester, but it's still not done. (Guardian has some nasty properties which make it especially hard to make it work with EFS/XEmacs.) If you're willing to help debug, I'd be happy to send you the current development sources. However, the greatest help would be if I could access a Guardian host ftp server for a limited time. (A weekend would probably be enough.) In that case, I'm sure I'd get the job done very quickly. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
