Sample files? I filed a bug report with Yuri, which only makes sense if you apply Yuri's patch, and which was posted on emacs-devel. Yuri said that it was due to a pre-existing bug in Emacs Info. It is all in the messages you responded to (and which, hence, I assume you have read). I am still confused about some of this myself, but Yuri gave the impression of knowing what is going on. I do not know anything more about Yuri's solution than the short line you mentioned and criticized (maybe because you misunderstood it). I had no idea there was an actual patch being applied. What other changes are being made? While savannah is down, it's impossible to know what is being done. I applied the patch to my owm _personal_ Emacs, for testing, _not_ to the Emacs CVS. The second part of your message is an unrelated problem. I may send my opinion on that one somewhat later. The ten features in Juri's patch are mostly unrelated. We can install some and reject others. Maybe we should not even be discussing them all in a single thread. Sincerely, Luc.
