We're not talking about opening "a new trunk". I probably wasn't very clear but that's exactly what I was talking about. Yidong's post also seems to suggest that this might be possible. Creating a sparate branch for one Emacs mode is probably not worthwhile as experience from GDB tells me that very few people would check that branch out. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
