I'm merging my changes into GNU Emacs' rect.el, and I found a function they use that we don't have: it's called `move-to-column-force' and it replaces multicolumn characters by spaces in order to move to the exact required column. Is it something that we want to do? If we don't, rectangles might get fucked up. If we do, we might loose characters. I'm personally not very much for that change, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19

Sure... we should ship a 'letsgetreadytorumble.(au|wav)' that we play when we finish running the configure script. :) -bp

How many times has this happened to you? You notice you buffer is modified. Did you do it accidentally or was it intended (after all, xemacs has been running for the last month, so you don't remember). Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use ediff to show you what's changed?

To make life easy for us here when we auto-discover modules, we use different extensions on all of our platforms for various types of shared objects. .cfm .mod .uga all work just dandy (even on windows :) > wmperry> Or go whole hog and spell the #%!＠#%! thing out. :) > > I suppose for the `configure' switch, that would be appropriate.

It makes it readable, like long lisp variable names.

Yes, but that's the problem. I don't want to save the file because I don't know if it's trashed.

You could save it to a temp file and then diff the two with ediff. -Bill P.
