I built epoch-3.2 and applied the necessary patches, and everything built fine and wonderful without any problems; well, almost. There is a problem with the documentation strings of functions that get their documentation from the DOC file. The format of the DOC file seems fine, but the indices at which functions seem to believe their documentation lies are off. For example, if I do C-h f epoch::font, I get: epoch::font ng a font to load. If SCREEN is nil, the current screen is used, otherwise the screen specified is used. or C-h f car: car s not void. Not all of them are messed up. The first few functions in the DOC file are fine; it is only after the doc for `epoch::icon-name' that things start getting weird. The first function listed after that is `epoch::screen-information', and for that I get: epoch::screen-information ch::font Takes optional arguments of FONT-NAME and SCREEN. If FONT-NAME is nil, returns current font information. If not nil, it should be string naming a font to load. If SCREEN is nil, the current screen is used, otherwise the screen specified is used. (Note also the missing newlines ...) Anyone else have this problem, and/or a fix? Raul
