How did they run the old executables? I doubt that they typed emacs-MM.NN.OO.P to run one. More likely they did `make install', don't you think? I could have done that, and not lost the old executable. But I don't want to run an old executable by mistake. Having the old executables sit in src under their version-specific names will not lead me to run an old executable unless I really want to. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
