So since no such I did not start out with this goal but I admit the idea of being a tiny part of Emacs is now very pleasing to me. It would be relieving when I could give something, anything back. My first priority is getting the code into a presentable form till the end of 2006. Then I hope with the release of Emacs 22 I'll getting some feedback and do some further polishing. At this time, hopefully before 2008 ;-/, I'll pipe up again. > assignment is on file from the authors of the modification, you need > to either find them and have them go through the procedure as well, or > rewrite the functionality starting from octave.el without making use > of copyrightable material from ansys-mod.el.

Thank heaven I'm in a better position than you. I'm quite optimistic that in ansys-mod.el are mainly adjustments from octave-mod.el to the Ansys idiosyncrasies. Having gone so far, I think I'll do this step of a rewrite when there will be a genuine interest under the Emacs developers. -- Best wishes H. Dieter Wilhelm Darmstadt, Germany
