Re: [Isaac Hollander <ysh@mindspring.com>] Sun package is deadwood?

I usually simply lurk this group but I'll jump in on this. I use XEmacs 21.1.x regularly and with only some minor setup on my part can integrate workshop quite nicely. Although I personally do not use Workshop, preferring gud and dbx, I've made it work for several of my colleagues Provided that XEmacs 21.1.x is in the PATH ahead of any of the Sun Workshop directories, the following function should work like a charm: ;; ;; Initialization required for interfacing with Sun's Workshop. ;; Do M-x workshop-start to initiate a debugging session. ;; (defun jnc-workshop() "Initializes Sun Workshop. Use M-x workshop-start to invoke the debugger" (interactive) (when (featurep 'tooltalk) (load "tooltalk-macros") (load "tooltalk-util") (load "tooltalk-init")) (when (featurep 'sparcworks) (load "sunpro-init") (load "ring") (load "comint") (load "annotations") (sunpro-startup)) (setq bar-cursor nil)) SY> Can anyone comment on this?
