FYI,
There are no spaces in my home dir. The init.el file is located here:
C:\Users\irv9457\.xemacs
The init.el file is being read by xemacs because if I place the following lines in the
file, I do see an error saying : "File mode specification error: (file-error "
cannot open load file" "vhdl-mode")
(autoload 'vhdl-mode "vhdl-mode" "vhdl mode" t )
;; Any files that end in .v should be in vhdl mode
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.vhd\\'" . vhdl-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
;; Any files in vhdl mode should have their keywords colorized
(add-hook 'vhdl-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1)))
Is the above is necessary to run vhdl-mode?
I do have a copy of vhdl-mode.el in the .xemacs directory.
Thanks.

Hi, Ira -
(Copying XEmacs developers; others may well know more than I do - please "reply
all" if you have further comments.)
I vaguely recall some kind of parsing error for HOME directories containing spaces and I
think this has been fixed. I recommend taht you try this setup kit:
http://ftp.xemacs.org/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.24.exe instead of 21.4.22.
Regards,
Vin

Hi Vin,
Sorry to bother you. I’ve been using xemacs with vhdl-mode on a
windows box for many years. I recently got a new windows 7 PC.
When we installed version [version 21.4.22; December 2011] on the
box, vhdl-mode is not working.
Without doing anything, Verilog-mode (.v files) and Perl mode (.pl
files) both work fine.
I tried to update the package list and I’m unable to with . I turned
off the firewall in Mcafee. This is the error I get:
(1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (invalid-operation Cannot
send signal to process *ftp anonymous(a)ftp.xemacs.org*)
(2) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (invalid-operation Cannot
send signal to process *ftp anonymous(a)ftp.xemacs.org*)
(3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: DIR
failed: )
Is there a version available that is precompiled with the vhdl-mode package?
Is there another way to get VHDL mode working again?
Thanks.
