[PATCH] Fix connection problems for XEmacs/MULE.

2000-05-21 Thread Daniel Pittman
The attached patch makes the connection setup work for me under XEmacs/MULE. Simply put, I presume that the system I am talking to is going to have dos-style line enders, and set the coding system for reading to match that. This shouldn't hurt anything under non-MULE code, being as it binds a var

[RFC] Splitting VC interface for RCP to a distinct file.

2000-05-25 Thread Daniel Pittman
It seems to me, on consideration, that the VC integration of RCP could very well be split out into a separate file from the main body of the code, and automatically loaded if/when VC is. This makes sense to me because, aside from anything else, it seems awfully rude to (require 'vc) at the top of
