I've included the new remote-compilation stuff in my "Extending Emacs on Win32 with Plink and TRAMP" page http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tlroche/plinkTramp.html Your questions, comments, complaints, corrections, or suggestions are appreciated. I'd especially appreciate it if someone could try setting this up on a "virgin" win32 box, and let me know if anything is wrong, unclear, could be better worded, etc. It would also be nice to see if it works on a "consumer" M$ box (i.e. 95/98/ME). Onward to version control ... TIA, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
