Hi,

In January of last year I installed into ERC erc-viper.el, which
exists solely to work around the fact that Viper doesn't know anything
about ERC, and needs to in order for the two modes to interact together
nicely.

Now that ERC has been installed into Emacs, the hacks in erc-viper.el
can be integrated into Viper itself, thus removing the need for
erc-viper.el entirely.

Attached is a patch that does precisely that (except for the actual
removal of erc-viper.el, which should be done by whomever applies this
patch). I've tested these changes locally, and all appears well.

I don't have papers on file for Emacs, but I believe this patch can be
applied anyway: the changes to Viper (excepting ChangeLog entries) add
up to only 5 lines, and while the changes to ERC total to more than 10
lines, I have papers on file for ERC. Nevertheless, I'm quite willing to
sign papers for Emacs, should it be necessary.


Thanks,
Ted
