The new Tramp has different methods.  It auto-detects whether to use
base64 or uuencode encodings.  The method is now called "telnet".

    Ah! So that's the new syntax! It's really confusing having all that
documentation at tramp.sourceforge.net conflict with the new tramp. Is the
EmacsWiki up to date? I don't see tramp mentioned there. 

    Hmm. I just tried the new tramp to login to my box at home.

I'm sorry.  I really should change the SourceForge information.
[time passes]  I've now done it.

Please submit a bug report, using M-x tramp-bug RET.  That also tells
you which information I need to successfully chase the bug.  In your
case, it's important to load tramp.el instead of tramp.elc and to
provide a backtrace (you get it if you do M-x toggle-debug-on-error
RET and the reproduce the error message).

Hello,

Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I ensure loading of tramp.el & not
tramp.elc?

Thanks,

Either remove tramp.elc, or load tramp.el explicitly with

M-x load-file /path/to/tramp.el RET

You could delete tramp.elc, for example :-)

Or say (load "tramp.el") in your .emacs file.

Apparently the w3-decode-charset function uses a macro that is not
defined (if you're running it interpreted) or was not defined at
compile-time (if you're running it compiled).

Hm.  Are you sure that "make" to compile the two packages used the
same Emacs as the one you're using to run it?

Hello,

I checked the config.log for the url & w3 packages: the configure script
found 21.1 in both cases, which is correct.

Thanks,

Hm.  Could you M-: (load "w3.el") RET, then try again?  Maybe now the
backtrace is better, or the issue goes away completely.

Hi,

It returns 't' in the minibuffer, and

Re: w3 again,

Hello,

I had another go at w3.  I removed the *.elc files of url and w3, set
debug-on-error to 't' and invoked w3 using 'm-x w3'.  here is the
resulting backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function (macro . #[(handle) "ÁE‡"

I found a thread at
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/emacs-devel/2002-January/004938.html
discussing the same error.  But there did not seem to be any fix.

It would be nice to find a cure for this, but if not I'll try w3m instead.

Re: w3 again,

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I have now found the problem.

Firstly, you were correct that running sources vs. byte-code helps to sort
the problem.

Weh I run source code, with debug-on-error set to 't' I get the following
backtrace on invoking m-x w3:

Loading w3 (source)...
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading cus-edit...

error in process filter: Symbol's value as variable is void:
font-running-xemacs

On grepping for this variable in the site-lisp directory, I find it is not
defined, so I put

;; Kludge by rm Oct. 2 2002
(defvar font-running-xemacs nil
"True if this is Xemacs.  By default I set it to nil.")

in w3.el, and now everything seems to be OK.

I have not yet tried compiling and running compiled the code.

Thanks to all who assisted.
