Hi,

Beacuse of lack of time, I was away from new Gnus versions (and regulary
reading ding list) for a while, sticking to good old 5.8.2 instead. When I
tried to compile new 5.8.7 today, it kept complaining about missing
`timer.el' file, like this:

     While compiling toplevel forms in file
     /home/users/t/tdrabik/site-lisp/gnus-5.8.7/lisp/gnus-uu.el:
       !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer"))     
     [...]
     While compiling toplevel forms in file
     /home/users/t/tdrabik/site-lisp/gnus-5.8.7/lisp/mm-partial.el:
       !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer"))
     [...]

As far as I know, `timer.el' is a GNU Emacs thingy, which was not needed for
byte-compiling and running Gnus on XEmacs. Why is it needed now and how to
circumvent this?

I'm using XEmacs 20.4 on Solaris.

Thanks,

Toni
