In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Sun Sep 18 1994 on cthulhu Listed below are the contents of my exec-directory. I have verified by looking at emacs' .el files and the output of 'strings emacs' that the following are never used once emacs is built: digest-doc make-docfile make-path sorted-doc test-distrib yow (maybe should be installed in $prefix/bin?) Is there any reason why those binaries have to be installed, if they are never used? Also, why are these binaries built statically? /usr/thor14/emacs/gnu/lib/emacs/19.27/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3: total 1761 drwxrwxr-x 2 mike mixed 512 Sep 19 19:43 . drwxrwxr-x 5 mike mixed 512 Sep 19 19:44 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 139264 Sep 19 19:43 cvtmail -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 digest-doc -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 147456 Sep 19 19:43 emacsserver -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 32768 Sep 19 19:43 fakemail -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 hexl -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 155648 Sep 19 19:43 make-docfile -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 make-path -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 122880 Sep 19 19:43 movemail -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 profile -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 12306 Sep 19 19:43 rcs2log -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 sorted-doc -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 test-distrib -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 155648 Sep 19 19:43 timer -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 1303 Sep 19 19:43 vcdiff -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 122880 Sep 19 19:43 wakeup -rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mixed 114688 Sep 19 19:43 yow -- Mike Long Mike.Long@Analog.com VLSI Design Engineer (PGP 2.6 public key available) Analog Devices, CPD Division Norwood, MA 02062 USA assert(*this!=opinionof(Analog));
