I originally posted the below to gnu.emacs, but there hasn't been much discussion. Since there is an ongoing discussion of Dired on VMS in some to the other newsgroups, I thought I would repost with cross-postings.

I would be quite interested in a fix to this. > I have a fix for this problem, I actually made quite a few (minor) changes to the VMS dired routines to allow it to recognize when a there isn't a file on the current line (sometimes a listing gets split into to lines, e.g. when the filename is longer than the field width specified in dired-directory-command). I'm running GNU Emacs 18.54.1 under VAX/VMS 5.1-B. If I get a dozen or so requests for this code, I'll post it, otherwise I'll just mail it to the interested parties. roland -- Roland Roberts BITNET: roberts@uornsrl Nuclear Structure Research Lab INTERNET: rbr4@uhura.cc.rochester.edu 271 East River Road UUCP: rochester!ur-cc!uhura!rbr4 Rochester, NY 14267 AT&T: (716) 275-8962
