[comp.emacs] Mouse/Menu corrupt input patch.

russell@glencoe.turing.ac.uk (Russell Ritchie) (06/06/90)

Many people have mailed me saying that attempts to extract the code I
posted fail at the uncompress stage with a corrupt input error. The
resulting MouseAndMenuEmacs.tar file typically ends in lines like this:

(defun dired-do-deletions ()
  "In dired, delete the files flagged for deletion."
  (interactive)
  (let (delete-list
asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

the repeated "s" chars continue as nauseum. The cause is a mailer
somewhere that stripped a few lines from the start of the 3rd part (or
was it the end of the second part?). I reposted the 3rd part earlier in
an attempt to get around the problem but it still remains. Fortunately I
have now duplicated it here. What follows is a patch to be applied to
the concatenation of the 2 original posts and the repost of the 3rd
part: I have tried this here and it works. Sorry for all the hassle, if
we had a "shar" here that could cope with shell scripts as input this
fiasco would never have happened....

Patch file begins after this line.

Good luck.
