problems with flyspell mode 25 years, 7 months

Greg Klanderman

I'm not sure what flyspell version this is, as there is unfortunately nothing to indicate the version in the header of flyspell.el. However, I have 3 problems with the one included in the latest XEmacs package. 1. The line (defvar flyspell-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)) needs an autoload cookie above it. 2. The lines adding the minor mode: (add-minor-mode 'flyspell-mode flyspell-mode-line-string flyspell-mode-map nil flyspell-mode) look like they should be (add-minor-mode 'flyspell-mode flyspell-mode-line-string flyspell-mode-map nil #'flyspell-mode) Note change in last line. 3. I signal the following error the first time it is run (M-x vm-mail): Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p nil) flyspell-check-changed-word-p(59 59) flyspell-post-command-hook() as flyspell-pre-point is nil. I can submit a patch for the first 2, but it may be best to get an update through the author. greg

So its particularly nasty. Soren

Moreover clashdetection works by making symlinks which I believe are utterly unavailible under NT. Does anybody know how FSF NT does this? Jan

Can not add another info directory to infopath 25 years, 7 months

Robert Clifford

I tried to add /var/info to xemacs-21.2-b3 to read its dir, but I could not find a way of adding it, other than to modify setup-paths.el There is a way to add the directory but that way does not read the dir file, so the files don't appear when info is evoked. -- Robert Clifford, ESCC New York City rcliff(a)panix.com "I think I've got the hang of it now .... :w :q :wq :wq! ^d X exit X Q :quitbye CtrlAltDel ~~q :~q logout save/quit :!QUIT ^[zz ^[ZZ ZZZZ ^H ^＠ ^L ^[c ^# ^E ^X ^I ^T ? help helpquit ^D^d ^C ^c help exit ?Quit ?q" (Ed Wright)

Jan Vroonhof

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/20/20398.html Unfortunately a patch for libgpm is needed too. However it would be nice if our linux binary packages could have a version with this patch linked in staticly. Jan

My incoming email will be terminated tomorrow 25 years, 7 months

SL Baur

Incoming email to me via `steve(a)calag.com' or `steve(a)altair.xemacs.org' will be terminated sometime[1] tomorrow (Monday) US time. The `steve(a)calag.com' address will not be resumed. `steve(a)xemacs.org' is the only address you should use. Please, please do not carbon copy me on messages to any XEmacs list other than the MS windows list. I will be on the other end of a slow line and it won't be appreciated even more than it isn't appreciated now. Thanks. Footnotes: [1] I have oral surgery midday Monday and have to close an office at the same time, sigh.

I don't want to waste time with installation/setup As everybody seems to pitching in for Redhat let me just say that I recommend Debian. If only for the reason that Debian comes with XEmacs whereas Redhat doesn't[1]. My guess that would be that given the developmental and the prefered focus on quality above user friendliness on install you would be more at home coming from FreeBSD (note that debian install is not really lesss "user-friendly", mostly it just looks less slick). But anyway I agree with the others that really doesn't matter as long as it is libc6 based. Jan [1] There is a user contributed version/
