It seems to work so far. Leaving aside the question of who really cares or wants such an obscure thing, i am wondering about the rules for posting on gnu.emacs.sources. Emacs is free and the code for the mode is free, but it is only useful for editing files which only run on a distinctly non-free operating system--and one for which i suspect there is no free replacement going to be written... ever. So i guess there is an analogy with, say, an editing mode for java files back when there was no free java compiler. Or something. Anyway, i'm interested to know if posting such a thing would likely be frowned upon. Thanks.
