Below is a copy of the file vms-patch.el. To get VMS dired to work you will need my corrections to dired.el (already sent out), vms-patch.el (this file), and vmsproc.el (should arrive about the same time as this). Put them in the [lisp] directory and byte-compile them. roland --- Cut here --- ;; Override parts of files.el for VMS. ;; Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; This file is part of GNU Emacs. ;; GNU Emacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, ;; but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.
