@David: I think there's currently no AUCTex list where one can post to without being subscribed or having to wait for moderator approval, therefore I'm sending this to you.

I don't use it personally, but according to the manual AUCTEX does have support for inverse search. > What I meant is that, with AUCTeX, you can (easily) enable source > specials and, with your xdvi-search.el, this means that Emacs can use > easily the forward/backward search with xdvi(k). It should be possible with AUCTeX, too. According to the manual, even AUCTeX in sarge supports forward and inverse search. > IMVHO, this is an extra reason to have xdvi-search.el available. I think xdvi-search.el is useful for people that use the standard TeX mode (which is perhaps more suited for plain TeX), but if anything is missing in AUCTeX that xdvi-search.el has, it should rather be integrated in AUCTeX.
