It's not what it looks like it does. E.g. the patch contains the following code: ! (with-temp-buffer ! (insert-file-contents tut nil 0 80) ! (search-forward ".") ! (buffer-substring (point-min) (point)))) Which seems to be searching for the end of a sentence (though this is not a good way to do that -- it won't work with some languages), and will in fact signal an error if there's no period in the first 80 characters. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
