You might try talking to the sysadmin...if they get bugged
by enough people, eventually they will do the upgrade!
Otherwise try this....
1) Download the latest version of speedbar from Eric's
pages. The speedbar stuff is at...
http://www.ultranet.com/~zappo/speedbar.shtml
2) Unpack it and put the .el file somewhere appropriate. Lets
say for instance, ~/emacs/speedbar.el
3) Byte compile it...not strictly necessary but it will make
things go faster. Type M-x byte-compile-file
4) Ensure its in the load path BEFORE the emacs's own
speedbar. Do this with
(setq load-path
(cons "~/emacs" load-path)) in your .emacs
5) Restart emacs.
6) This should be it. Ensure that speedbar is loaded, with
M-x speedbar. Now type C-h f speedbar (to get help on speedbar)
You should get something like...
speedbar is an alias for `speedbar-frame-mode' in `speedbar'.
(speedbar &optional ARG)
if you click on the underlined `speedbar' at the end of
first line it should take you to the lisp where speedbar
is defined. You can then check to see whether this file
is the one that you have just installed (in which case it
has all worked), or the normal system speedbar, in which
case it hasn't. So you'll have to start again...
Good luck...
