I did not look very hard yesterday to see if I could find = a newer version than 3.2 which is the latest one that I have. Neither = of the two locations where I looked had newer versions = (http://user.it.uu.se/~mic/emacs.shtml had 3.2 and = http://www.gnusoftware.com/Emacs/Lisp/ had 2.0). =20 It would be nice if the maintainers of both these sites would point to = the correct place to get the latest version, now that it seems to have = found a permanent home. Using the search engine at vivisimo.com I found 58 references to = mic-paren.el. All that I looked at with the exception of the wiki site = contain or point to old versions. -_ J_) C_)ingham .

I would recommend this package too (i'm the maintainer :-) but i would = also recommend to use the latest version and also to use the only actual download-site which is http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/.
