I'm pretty sure that won't work. As best I remember, gnus byte compiles differently in emacs and xemacs so the two versions are not compatible. The xemacs package at debian comes with an older version of gnus, but it's a piece of cake to download a tarball from gnus.org and roll your own. There is always a stable release version called gnus.tar.gz and a development version called something like ognus.tar.gz or pgnus.tar.gz. They're working backwards through the alphabet so ognus is newer than pgnus. Kind of like debian stable and unstable, the stable version is usually quite solid while the development version may be broken in some fashion on any given day. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr All things in moderation.
