Version 2.0.35 of Tramp released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-password-end-of-line): Use "xy" with plink. (tramp-completion-function-alist): Add completion function for "remcp", "remsh" and "plink1". Factor out the `regular' file name handling via a remote shell of some sort into a specific function. Intent is to later put that part of Tramp into a special file, so that the Tramp `core' is just a dispatcher that dispatches to various handlers. (tramp-sh-file-name-handler): New function. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): New default value. Call tramp-sh-file-name-handler as default case. (tramp-file-name-handler): Do not invoke the old remote-shell handler. (tramp-find-foreign-file-name-handler): Return after first match is found. From Francis Litterio <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-file-newer-than-file-p): `tramp-time-diff' returns integer, not list. Do not apply `car' to the return value of `tramp-time-diff'. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-time-diff): Convert return value of subtract-time to a number of seconds in a correct manner, by applying float-time or time-to-seconds. Also correct compat code accordingly. The XEmacs branch for itimer-time-difference didn't need correction, it returned a float already. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): When calling `file-local-copy', let-bind `inhibit-file-name-operation' accordingly. This makes sure that jka-compr is not called when `insert-file-contents-literally' is invoked. From Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]>. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Avoid calling jka-compr when writing the target file. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): Add comment about default value having to come last. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): Add the "-p" hack. (tramp-handle-copy-file): Set file modes of target file. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy) (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Use binary coding system, instead of no-conversion. They are the same on Emacs but different on XEmacs. (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern): Allow multiple escape sequences (each with optional trailing space). * net/tramp-uu.el: * net/tramp-util.el: * net/tramp-efs.el: Use iso-2022-7bit encoding with coding cookie for XEmacs compatibility.

@quotation
  Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
