In latest CVS code, the definition of ldap-search-internal is defun ldap-search-internal (search-plist) And Google searching generates some useful links for its old definition: 1. http://docsrv.sco.com:8457/cgi-bin/info2html?(lispref.info.gz)Searching%2520on%2520a%2520LDAP%2520Server%2520(Low-level) the definition is - Function: ldap-search-internal ldap filter base scope attrs attrsonly 2. http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/COMP/info/xemacs/lispref/lispref_54.html same definition as above. And from Emacs ediff archive, I found one item committed on Oct. 14, 2003 - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2003-10/msg01232.html, in which the definition is the same as in latest code. So the change is before this. And http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/live/xemtex/lisp/ldap.el is revision 1.12, in which ldap-search-internal does not exist. And it makes ldap-search obsolete. Seems it's for Xemacs. I guess around the time of this revision, Emacs and Xemacs followed different roads. >>From Emacs cvs log, I found the earliest change of ldap-search-internel is revision 1.3.4.1 date: 2001/12/28 06:28:32; author: rms; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 (ldap-search-internal): Handle in results. But there is no record of change to definition. Wish my observations can be of some use. -- 花开花谢春不管，拂意事休对人言 水暖水寒鱼自知，会心处还期独赏
