If you update from v.22 to 26 by way of fresh install I assume any
bookmarks in gnus info will be history.

Can you save bookmarks by using the diff patches?  And if so  are dif
patches from v22 to 26 available? (didn't see any but 25-26)

If above statement isn't a joke, here is what I meant.
Since I am a rather severe green horn with emacs and gnus, I make heavy
use of emacs ability to save bookmarks, and have many set in the info
sections to be able to find certain info fast. (Often just by looking at
the bookmark list)

When I first installed qgnus (I started with v.22) The readme file tells
how to aim emacs at the new info files instead of the gnus 5.5 files. (I
was reluctant to remove the 5.5 setup) Once this is done then the old
book marks(that were set in Gnus info) are bypassed (I think) because
the location of the files is different.

Now I have accumulated many bookmarks in the qgnus info files.

I had hoped by using the patches instead of a new install the bookmarks
set in gnus info would be maintained. ( I guess they will)

Yes, thank you-- I was looking at the wrong site.

What are bookmarks?

All the patches should be on the web sites.

I have never heard of bookmarks before, but I see that there's a whole
bunch of bookmark-related symbols in Emacs, so I guess it must do
something.  Like, uhm, allow people to put bookmarks in files.  :-)

Yes.  File and position (position determined by a context regexp).

I find i extremely useful to set bookmarks to different places in the
directory trees of machines I use ange-ftp to access.

I'm not sure whether the bookmark code in Emacs resolves symbolic
links to absolute paths.  If not, you could install QGnus like this:

Add the directory "/path/to/installed/gnus/lisp" to your `load-path'.
Likewise, add the directory "/path/to/installed/gnus/texi" to either
`Info-default-directory-list' or `Info-directory-list'.  Now, make
"/path/to/installed/gnus" be a symlink to
e.g. "/path/to/installed/qgnus-0.26" (or wherever), and you should be
set.

When updating to a new QGnus release, unpack it and compile it
anywhere, and then update the symlink accordingly.  Voila.
