Version 2.0.34 (of Tramp) released. (tramp-handle-file-symlink-p): If target of symlink is absolute, return a Tramp filename. (Ie, return "/user@host:/target" instead of "/target".) (tramp-handle-file-truename): Deal with new return value from `file-symlink-p'. (tramp-handle-expand-file-name): Make default method explicit in file name. (tramp-unified-filenames): Move to an earlier spot in the file. (top-level): If tramp-unified-filenames is set and we're running on XEmacs, load tramp-efs. (tramp-wait-for-shell-prompt, tramp-barf-if-no-shell-prompt): New functions, used by tramp-send-command-internal. (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Simplify using `tramp-send-command-internal'. (tramp-send-command-internal): New function. (tramp-methods): New entries "remsh" and "remcp" are like "rsh" and "rcp" but invoke "remsh" instead of "rsh". This is useful on Cray systems, for instance. Unify tramp-rsh-program, tramp-telnet-program, tramp-su-program into tramp-login-program. Likewise with tramp-login-args, tramp-copy-program, tramp-copy-args, tramp-copy-keep-date-arg. Users changed. New method plink1; like plink but pass "-1" to force protocol version 1. (tramp-default-method): Use plink as the default on machines where the plink program is present. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler): Add safe-magic property. (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern): Allow ANSI escapes at end of prompt. (ANSI escapes elsewhere in the prompt are recognized properly already.)

Basic Installation for  An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp  version 2
==================

    # To see the table of contents of the emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz
    # file, execute the following at your shell prompt:

    tar -tzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz

    # To uncompress and untar the file, execute the following:

    tar -xzvf emacs-lisp-intro-2.00.tar.gz

    # The file will untar into a subdirectory called emacs-lisp-intro-2.00
    # That directory will contain the Texinfo source for the book, the
    # Info files and various other files.

    cd emacs-lisp-intro-2.00

    # To create a DVI file that can be printed directly or converted
    # to PostScript or PDF and then printed, execute the following:

    ./configure
    make dvi

    # To create an HTML file, execute the following
    #   (presumably you have already executed the `./configure' command
    #    before running `make dvi'; if not execute `./configure' now);
    # this will place HTML files into a emacs-lisp-intro/ subdirectory:

    makeinfo --html --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

    # To create a single, large HTML file in the current directory,
    # use the --no-split option, like this:

    makeinfo --html --no-split --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

        # At the time of writing, `makeinfo' version 4.0b creates HTML
        # files with %20 in addresses instead of a space.  Some
        # browsers have difficulty following such references.  In
        # GNU Emacs, you can replace the occurrences of %20 with a
        # command such as
        #              (replace-string "%20" " ")

    # To create a single, large Info file in the current directory
    # instead of the usual 16 smaller Info files, and also, to avoid
    # indenting paragraphs, execute:

    makeinfo --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 --verbose emacs-lisp-intro.texi

    # To create a single, large Plain text file in the current
    # directory, execute:

    makeinfo --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \
    --verbose --no-headers --output=emacs-lisp-intro.txt emacs-lisp-intro.texi
