What might be a bit dangerous with something like a zip file is that it can easily be extracted into the wrong place and has no roll-back mechanism. So it could accidently plaster the wrong directory with its contents. A superior solution would be a small installer which prompts for the Emacs directory and does a few sanity checks. Or we just provide both Emacs and AUCTeX in a single zip file. The ready-to-edit solution if you so want. Of course that'd be quite a large download. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
