Yes. This fix is already in 21.0. Thanks anyway, Jan

Or at least about the fully qualified hostname. The new clashdetection stuff (which I hope will be back on by default in 21.2) uses the hostname in the lock description if I recall correctly. That would be fairly difficult to defer. However just getting the basepart of the hostname should not involve gethostbyname() shouldn't it. Jan

find-file-compare-truenames works for directories? 25 years

Neal D. Becker

Is find-file-compare-truenames supposed to work for directories? It doesn't seem to. Visiting /disk1/nbecker/is95/ and the ~/is95/, I get two different dired buffers (is95, is95<2>). But visiting a file within each directory gets me just a single buffer.

dead-circumflex with XFree86 25 years

Pierre Phaneuf

I was very happy to see that my french canadian keyboard worked correctly with XEmacs without much tweaking, but there was a single little thing: the circumflex key didn't work (it complained "dead-circumflex not defined" in the minibuffer). I search around and found that x11/x-init.el and x11/x-compose.el referred to that key as dead-circum instead of dead-circumflex. I tried changing those files (with a *very* limited knowledge of ELisp!), but XEmacs seems to ignore my changes (well, in any case I don't see any change). I ended up expanding the x-define-dead-key macro in my .emacs like this: (when (x-keysym-on-keyboard-p 'dead-circumflex) (define-key function-key-map [dead-circumflex] 'compose-circumflex-map)) Which do work. Maybe there is some .elc recompiling issue I am missing or XEmacs "freezing" issue or whatever. I built my own customized RPM (I use Red Hat 5.2 on Intel) from other RPMs I found on the net (I use Window Maker, so I wanted session management), but my experience ends there. My impression of the whole thing is that it takes heck of a lot of time to compile! ;-) Thanks for such a cool editor!!! P.S.: I am not subscribed to this mailing list (if this is one), so please CC: any replies to my address! Thanks! -- Pierre Phaneuf Ludus Design, http://ludusdesign.com/ "First they ignore you.

Here is some news for y'alll 25 years

Jan Vroonhof

>From http://www.businessweek.com/cgi-bin/bwdaily_full?right=dnflash/apr1999/nf... Stallman is in fact planning to revise the GPL sometime this year, according to his assistant, Paul Wendt. Though he won't reveal details, Wendt says the new document will be "more attractive to people like IBM, EMC, Intel, and AOL."

Steve has now confirmed that he is indeed cut of from working on it, which is what what we wanted to hear[1]. Jan Footnotes: [1] Of course what we really wanted to hear was that he was away on honeymoon with this beautiful rich widow that is a fanatic XEmacs user and will be using all hear wealth to support Steve hacking XEmacs 24h/day. However I'll make do with just having clarity.

But it depends on Steve, > and I don't know why he remains silent. My apologies. My 'net access is pretty fucked up and I have had extremely limited hacking time. I doubt I will be able to do anything positive towards XEmacs before I return to Japan next week.
