I have upgraded the emacs we run on our system from 18.55 to 18.57(.5) Some hacks on our system no longer work. One of them involved a change to time.el. The problem seems to stem from a call to "loadst", which used to exist in the etc directory of emacs - now it appears "wakeup" is in its place, but wakeup doesn't do anything like what "loadst" used to do (time, date, machine usage, etc). As I am new to emacs, I would like someone to "fill me in" on the background information pertinent to loadst and wakeup, like what loadst did vs. why it was deleted (yes, I read the little bit in the changelog by rms@mole.ai.mit.edu) many thanks. -- jdb = John Barlow, Parallel Computing Research Facility, Australian National University, I-Block, PO Box 4, Canberra, 2601, Australia. email = jdb@arp.anu.edu.au [International = +61 6, Australia = 06] [Phone = 2492930, Fax = 2490747]
