Thus the normal users get the old XEmacs package and I get the bleeding edge CVS snapshots. This setup is certainly not perfect (e.g. I guess the auto-autoload.el should be rebuilt by Gnus' Makefile) but it Works For Me(tm). BTW, we are still looking for a volunteer to package Gnus5.8.x for XEmacs :-) Gunnar -- Gunnar Evermann Speech, Vision & Robotics Group Cambridge University Engineering Department
