Status of Emacs mode for newlisp

[Tim Johnson]

It's me ... I wrote the original draft of the

newlisp editing mode for emacs.



It looks like I'm actually going to be writing some

newlisp code, so what I'd like to do, if possible, is to

hear from any of you who might have made changes to

the mode so that those changes could be synchronized.



The copy on my desktop contains changes made by

frontera000. I believe some other changes may have been

made as well.



I'm inclined to drop the usage of the associative (hash) list

for documentation. I've found it difficult to handle

all of the escaping. So maybe 'nl-doc-assoc will go by the

wayside and w3m (emacs html pager mode) could be

utilized.



Anyway, if anyone has any changes to share, let me know.

Thanks

Tim

P.S. newlisp compiled and installed with incident on ubuntu 7.10 32-bit.

Did you two touch base?  Curious.

Nope. I just send him a PM.

Thanks!

I didn't make any major changes.  Just removed some lines causing problems, I think.  You can download the modified code here:

Hi Jeff:

I'm getting Error 404 on both links there.

Sorry about that.  When the host moved, I apparently lost some files.  A good developer would have noticed this when he or she updated them next.  I am not that developer :)



They are re-uploaded.  The mysql file is still missing, though, and I will have to upload it again later.

Got 'em. I'm inclined to repost with tj-parenface, and

without the docstring files. The reason for dropping

'docstrings (and along with it) the key and menu-driven

help feature is that:

1)The files are resource-heavy on loading and escaping

   them for elisp data-structures has proven to be problematic for me

2)A better way would be to use w3m, which is a emacs-embedded

   text-based browser. I anticipate a month or so before that is

   implemented.

More later.

Thanks

Tim
