[xemacs-hg @ 2002-06-26 00:11:15 by youngs] 2002-06-24 John Paul Wallington <jpw@shootybangbang.com> * obsolete.el (frame-parameter): New compatibility function. (makehash): Ditto. (buffer-local-value): Ditto. (line-beginning-position): New compatibility alias for `point-at-bol'. (line-end-position): New compatibility alias for `point-at-eol'. * subr.el (with-temp-message): New function; sync with GNU Emacs 21. (bound-and-true-p): Ditto. (propertize): New function. (delete-and-extract-region): Ditto. 2002-06-24 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * code-files.el (load): Look for a binary module if no Lisp file with the correct name is found.

;;; Synched up with: FSF 19.34.

;;; Commentary:

;; This is loaded into a bare Emacs to create the blessmail script,
;; which (on systems that need it) is used during installation
;; to give appropriate permissions to movemail.
;;
;; It has to be done from lisp in order to be sure of getting the
;; correct value of rmail-spool-directory.

;;; Code:

;; These are no longer needed because we run this in emacs instead of temacs.
;; (message "Using load-path %s" load-path)
;; (load "paths.el")
;; It is not safe to load site-init.el here, because it might have things in it
;; that won't load properly unless all the rest of Emacs is loaded.
