I think you are right on that, as people tend to stickk with the version of a package tha comes with their emacs. Tramp is in emacs 21.4 & up. Fedora Cores 1 & 2 use 21.3.

All I can report on is Fedora, so maybe those who use other Linux distrubutions can comment on theirs. Oh, spelling: "useful". Thanks much for developing an excellent package and for listening to what I've had to say. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
