As long as we're on the subject, how would one provide a "patch" for adding a completely new file like the Emacs mode pamphlet? Is there some preferred way to do this or is just supplying the file and target directory for inclusion enough? Cheers, CY _

Tim, What do you think about maintaining sourceforge:trunk as Silver (ehm, Gold-to-be) instead of branches/daly? SVN has a big weakness of not automatically tracking merged revision numbers (that is why some people use SVK instead). Tim, can you figure out the SVN-revision numbers of the patc

It depends what you really want. I really want 1. no damaged memory 2. aldor compiler; the error messages of the spad compiler are not satisfactory for me. 3. recent bugfixes What options do I have? So far I tried wh-sandbox and the wrong silver branch. --enable-checking sets Lisp safety
