I've started with tramp-smb.el the basic way: reading Tramp sources, reading Elisp manual, and asking lotta questions to Kai. > - is tramp-smb.el the right place to start? Maybe I'm not the best person to answer, 'cause I wrote tramp-smb.el. But I don't know another example (except tramp-ftp.el and tramp-efs.el, which are just mediation shells to existing file handlers). > Thanks > Ted Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
