Epoch 4.2 running on Apollo Domain SR10.3.5.6 BSD4.3 built with
Apollo CC version 6.8

Hi,

Thanks for the support from Jerry on re-binding keys. I'm slowly
building up a complete set of Apollo key bindings.

Some queries :

1) When running emacsclient I get the error :

stat: No such file or directory

Can I fix this ?

2) Loading the versions of ange-ftp, dired and emacs-19 which
came with epoch I get the following problems :

dired doesn't work consistently on remote nodes. You can't
for example select ~. Also it doesn't follow some links
remotely but does follow others. I can't be more helpful
with my comments at the moment as this isn't currently set
up on my machine. Finally I can't get a file copied from a remote
network to a local network.

3) Once dired etc are working properly is it possible to have
them dumped into epoch by hooking up the .../lisp/local directory
and forcing a rebuild. Either that or overwriting the lisp directory.
I know this is not good but as we use remote access all the time
and have loads of links I would be useful for it to be a standard
part of the package and not require loading up on start-up or on
selecting dired.

4) Is there any way of getting dired to copy/move/overwrite a tree
from one network to another ?

I appreciate some of these questions aren't necessarily Epoch questions
but thanks for any answers you can give me.

Anthony
