Hi. 1) I'll be happy to use your patcher procedure from here on out. Perhaps the web page could include the details below? (It doesn't seem to have been updated since 2002.) Attachment versus inline: I just wasn't sure which way you all sent patches around. Do you need a ChangeLog entry now, or can you derive one from my in-line comments? 2) I can look into cygwin. Is there a specific bug report of cygwin misbehavior? Or is it the same situation: miscellaneous attributes confuse the check? --benson -----Original Message----- From: ethersoft(a)gmail.com [mailto:ethersoft＠gmail.com] On Behalf Of Vin Shelton Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 1:47 PM To: Benson Margulies Cc: xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org Subject: Re: Repair to access checking in Win32 Benson, Thank you very much for this patch: On 11/18/06, Benson Margulies <bim2006(a)basistech.com&gt; wrote: I applied the patch you submitted to xemacs-beta; that seems to do the job for WIN32_NATIVE! This is a big improvement; I always wondered why I would occasionally get the one-off "File not found and directory write-protected message". Thanks for addressing this! Here are my comments: In general, many of us find the 'patcher' package a very easy way to submit XEmacs packages. In particular, patcher takes care of: 1. Please include a ChangeLog entry for your submissions. 2. Attaching your diff keeps various mailers from munging the message contents and greatly increases the chance that the patch will arrive intact. In specific - not being the kind to look a gift horse in the mouth - it would be very useful to extend the patch so that it worked under Cygwin, too. Do you think you could manage that?
