Okay. With the minor changes I'm making in vhdl-mode nowadays I don't care that much about compatibility anymore either. > IOW, feel free to send us patches that just fix backward compatibility > issues, and if you don't know how to combine the "new" and the "old" > code, we can probably help. Alright. I will check out the code you come up with and let you know the things I don't like. In the past there were changes done in the Emacs version that I didn't like or didn't understand and therefore I didn't bother to keep my copy in sync. I will try harder now! BTW, I was a heavy user of the (now deprecated) assoc package and didn't find a suitable replacement. So I just copied the relevant functions into vhdl-mode. If you have a better solution, let me know. Reto
