I've spent part of today revising ltxmenu.el, and moved the old and new versions of the backquoted menu definition into separate files that are loaded according to the value of emacs-version, so as not to break the code on any currently-installed version of emacs (I have many such, on more than two dozen flavors of Unix). The new files are available here: http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/emacs/ltxaccnt.el http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/emacs/ltxmenu.el http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/emacs/ltxmenu-23.el http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/emacs/ltxmenu-24.el There are corresponding .sig files for each, as well as signed checksum files for the entire directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
