That would mean (version= "22" "22.0.50.37") => t (version= "22" "22.1.50.37") => t (version= "22.0.50.37" "22.0.50.37") => nil Not exactly endearing to the average mathematician or logician... -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
