O.K. I'm confused, but see the Gnus question in the soon-to-be released XEmacs FAQ ;-). http://www.miranova.com/~steve/xemacs-subsystems.html#Q4_2_1 While we're speaking of version numbers and transitions ... Could you separate out the Gnus version number from the rest of the string: "Gnus v5.2.1" Eg. Pull out the 5.2.1 (or whatever) into a separate variable? (Or even something akin to emacs-major-version & emacs-minor-version). I'd like to be able to do things like: (concat "/usr/local/lib/xemacs/gnus-" gnus-version-number "/") or is there already a better way to do this? Also, once we move on into Red Gnus, will you reset the version numbering to 0 again, or use the Linux convention of even number stable, odd number development? Going to Red Gnus 5.3 might help reduce some confusion. And it might not, but it's worth asking. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
