I don't know! It's just clear that you wouldn't byte-compile ELisp =20 files just because GNU Emacs can do it. Since its faster to load byte-=20= compiled files (see also Java or Python) its clear that they're used =20 in preference of not byte-compiled files to load additional code. And =20= since these are unreadable and don't contain any comments on the code =20= they cannot be used for documentation uses as GPL demands. -- Greetings Pete "What do you think of Western Civilisation?"
