KG> Whee. Just a couple of days ago, I was working on KG> make-symbolic-link. Are you using the version from Tramp CVS? I haven't updated in ages, haven't had the time. Maybe I should. KG> Another question is: should both names be interpreted as Tramp names KG> or should one name be just a string? I think that the first argument KG> (FILENAME, the target of the symlink) should be considered as a KG> string, because `ln -s' also does it this way. But Richard agrees KG> with your interpretation. I don't think either name should be interpreted as a Tramp name. What I'm trying to achieve is to create a symlink on a remote host where both the target and the symlink are local to the remote host. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>---| _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
