Re: w3 again,

[Roger Mason <rmason@sparky2.esd.mun.ca>]

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...
Loading easymenu...done

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