Pterodactyl Gnus v0.9

Pterodactyl Gnus v0.9

[Mark Hovey]

Just tried pgnus-0.9.  Got a fatal error referring to a void function
definition on with-temp-file.  I am still using Emacs 19.34--could this
be the problem?   I have a version of custom recent enough to work with
gnus-5.6.42.  It was very nearly a disaster--when I quit emacs it
asked me if I wanted to save RMAIL, so I went to look at the buffer, and
it was just the active file!  If I had saved it I would have lost all
800K of my mail!

Yes.  Pterodactyl Gnus doesn't support Emacs 19.

An hour or two worth, no? Anyone wants you bad enough, they'll write
again ... :)

Slight bug fixes.  I forgot to mention that Pterodactyl Gnus is not
supported by anything older than Emacs 20 and XEmacs 20.  The teens
are definitely over.  If you wish to stick to Emacs/XEmacs 19, the
last version usable there will be Gnus 5.6.43, which will be released
next week some time.
