Have you made any thoughts about 22? (A quick diff between emacs/src from 21.3 to what is currently in CVS did not reveal anything major (last time it was the addition of atimer that made some problems, but they now seem to be solved)). Have you thought anything about minimizing the VMS-specific parts? There is a Compaq C extension to getcwd that makes it return Unix-style path, and chdir can handle both styles. Or would use of Unix-style paths not be well received, or should such extensions not be used at all? -- -Roar
