There is an EXTEMELY annoying glitch with our emacs setup and it is driving me batty! I have a NeXT with version 2.1 of the system. We have emacs 18.55 running. (Please don't tell me to upgrade to version 18.57 unless you can also supply a pointer to diffs or at least s- and m- files for the NeXT.) There are several machines in our network and we are using yellow pages. The problems is that whenever I try to find a file (either through "C-x C-f", "emacs file" or through a client talking to the server) emacs freezes completely for between 15 and 30 seconds. The file then loads and everything works fine. In about 1 in 10 times the file loads immediately with no delay at all. What could be causing this? I've tried completely removing my ~/.emacs file and restarting the program and that doesn't change anything. The behavior is the same if emacs is run from a terminal window or in a NeXT wrapper. Please respond by email directly to me and I'll summarize and post to the net. Thanks. -mark -- Mark Meuer <>< | The Geometry Center | meuer@geom.umn.edu "Given automated support for a notation, one of the things that tools can do is to help bad designers create ghastly designs much more quickly than they ever could in the past." -- Grady Booch
