I've just replaced the emacs-18.59 package on cs.orst.edu with a new
version. I guess I'll get it right eventually: I had omitted to
include the info directory, which is now part of the package. This is
the first time I've built an installer package, so I hope it works. By
the way, I used the Packager App by Toby Paterson which I found on the
NeXT educational CD-ROM - it certainly makes it straightforward to
build a package.

I've been trying since yesterday morning to post this to
sonata.cc.purdue.edu, but the machine won't accept more than about 66K
of the file. Looks like other people are having the same problem
(there were several files of exactly that same size in the submissions
directory yesterday): perhaps the disk is full.

After installing, you should check that the directory
/usr/local/lib/emacs/lock is writable by everyone, and perhaps remove
the lockfile for my .newsrc which got into the pcakage by mistake.....
