All right then. I had sometime in the past worked out an alternatives mechanism for the tuareg-mode package but I cannot find these files anymore :-( I will try to restore it from (human) memory and put it into the svn repo of tuareg-mode, then everybody who is interested can have a look at it and see how to integrate it with ocaml-mode. Does anyone know another example of debian packages where a choice between modes is managed by /etc/alternatives? -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
