Er, ok, whatever[*]; but then a subdirs.el file should work. I wasn't sure how well subdirs.el would work for the install directory because Gnus usually uses the top-level dir, and coordinating that between multiple installed package may not be easy. However for the source directory it should be no problem. -Miles [*] I've always installed Gnus, but maybe it's too much bother for someone doing Gnus development. -Miles -- o The existentialist, not having a pillow, goes everywhere with the book by Sullivan, _I am going to spit on your graves_.
