I downloaded the following and used setup.exe to install it. ftp://ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/software/gnu/vm/vm-7.03-pkg.tar.gz There were a number of warnings: Installing packages/vm-7.03-pkg.tar.gz Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/etc/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/etc/vm/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/info/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vm/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/man/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/man/vm/ Unable to install file D:/XEmacs/xemacs-packages/pkginfo/ Comparing that package with the official XEmacs 7.02 package I see that it includes directories as well as regular files. Please could future VM sourced XEmacs packages exclude directories. An example command with GNU tar is tar -czf - -T pkginfo/MANIFEST.vm > vm-7.03-pkg.tar.gz -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated WesternGeco -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete.forman@westerngeco.com -./\.- opinion of Schlumberger, Baker http://petef.port5.com -./\.- Hughes or their divisions.
