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

Did you start the emacsserver?  I use the following in my .emacs file:

    (setq server-program "/local/lib/emacs-18.57/etc/server")
    (server-start)

Kind regards,						Jan Rekers

Did you start the server?  You can also get this if the client and server
disagree on the name or location of the socket file.  See the source code.

  3) Once dired etc are working properly is it possible to have

Yes, you have to make a site-load.el and add it to that.  You also need to
make sure it gets into the DOC file.  There are some instructions in the
INSTALL file and some more in loadup.el.
