Hi Romain, This also affects the mozart package ( but we don't have a convenient byteopts.el hack yet :-( ). Since you haven't yet closed this bug I wanted to ask whether this new behaviour is going to remain (and I should work round it in mozart). thanks for your help, Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
