what are these things?
hey list I'd love to identify some mystery files in my home directory. there are 14 of them. they are big, and apparently binary. they are: xaa thru xam, and the last one is xxml.el. Just noticed them yesterday. I have been updating and installing new stuff (including an emacs package). I looked through some logs, but still am mystified. I don't suspect foul play, because the files are too obvious. do these file names ring a bell for anyone? Please cc, I'm not currently subscribed. Thanks. -- Insert witty saying here. -tom

Just noticed them yesterday. The x?? files were probably created by split. Thry cat x?? | file - to find what the original file was. The xxml.el is probably an Emacs Lisp source - just read it (eg. by less) to find out more. MisoFrankie pgp01HymL26j0.pgp Description: PGP signature
