In the meantime, I hope you will stop posting misinformation > about XEmacs's package system. It doesn't do Emacs any good. It was not I who has brought the topic up on this list again, and I don't think that anything can be gained by prohibiting Emacs developers that actually have had contact with the XEmacs package system to comment on the claims of XEmacs developers on the Emacs developer list. So just stop bringing up your claims here, and I won't feel compelled to report my experiences in reply. Simple as that. It is not like we don't have enough other stuff on our hands. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
