Did you get the code > from XEmacs, or just the idea? I've `translated' it e.g. replaced `set-extent-property' with `put-text-property' etc so, in your parlance, I guess its the former. The first feature (display of expressions), however, is largely a special case of a more general feature of gdba.el and won't have much new from XEmacs left when I have re-formatted the output. The second feature (hypertext help buffer) is stand alone, so it could be left out, although this would be a shame as its quite nice. > If it was code that you used, did you find out who the authors are? I think we've been here before. gdb.el has got the line : ;; Cygnus Support added support for gdb's --annotate=2 and Eli inferred from GDB's ChangeLog that Jim Kingdon and Tom Lord were the last to work on gdba.el. I think it is best if you contact Cygnus/XEmacs on this matter. Nick
