And a name such as > EMACS_22_BASE is sufficiently self-explanatory. I think Lennart meant that he didn't know where to find out that the command "cvs log" existed, and was relevant; that he hadn't guessed that there was such a command. Lennart: you must have CVS installed on your machine, somehow; it will contain a file cvs.texi (or similar), which you can compile into an info file and then read on Emacs. There are MS-Windows versions of gunzip, tar and makeinfo floating around on the Internet. Do this - it's well worth the bother. > All GNU projects put their pretest versions on alpha.gnu.org. > ftp.gnu.org, by contrast, is for released versions, so we should not > put binaries there until Emacs 22.1 is released.
