This change, however, is a purely mechanical one without creative content of its own. I'll just recreate it manually and you can check afterwards, if you want to, whether the diffs agree. I should be surprised if not. I have no idea whether you expect to contribute to Emacs in future. If yes, it might be a good idea to ask for a copyright assignment form for work on Emacs. At the moment, there are probably not many people with an assignment on file who would be dabbling with Polytoniko Greek input methods. --=20 David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
