Michael, Steve, what's the story about this one? I can't even find it in the xemacs-packages CVS sources. The timer functions are all in the fsf-compat package of XEmacs, since XEmacs implements its own itimer library, in XEmacs core lisp. My version of clearcase.el has this: (or clearcase-xemacs-p (require 'timer)) It probably only works fine for me because I require 'timer else where in my XEmacs customizations. This require needs to go to top-level for now, I think. Some of these timer functions in the fsf-compat package seem to be missing autoload cookies! I have to (require 'timer) to get them defined. string is a lisp primitive (built-in function). What the problem with this one?
