I know. and I don't want to use that, mostly because clicking on file names in *Help* buffer finds the installed "el.gz" files instead of the files under version control. > only the first “make install” is necessary this is not true because the executable is copied, not symlinked. However, you gave me an idea: I will go through nextstep/Emacs.app and replace files and directories with symlinks back into the tree. thanks! -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on darwin Ns 10.3.1343 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://ffii.org http://think-israel.org http://iris.org.il http://honestreporting.com http://memri.org 20% of people do 80% of work; also 80% of people think they are in those 20%.
