I'm hoping that they'll just revert back to the old smiley.el, which is exactly what I have asked Lars to do. So far, no response (he must be too busy). WH> (I won't get into why someone thought a rewrite was easier than Lars seemed to think that there was a bug, which he didn't elaborate on, because he couldn't see smilies in XEmacs. I said that I had no problems and that smiley.el worked great for XEmacs. Unfortunately, my comments seem to have been overlooked. -- |---------------------| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |---------------------------------------|
