Joe,
Here's something else funky:
% type -a emacs
bash: type: emacs: not found
% ll /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 20 Aug 11 06:40
/etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz*
% zcat /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz
% zcat /etc/setup/emacs.lst.gz |wc
0 0 0
% find /usr /lib -iname '*emacs*'
/usr/share/enscript/emacs.hdr
/usr/share/enscript/hl/style_emacs.st
/usr/share/enscript/hl/style_emacs_verbose.st
/usr/share/guile/1.5.6/ice-9/emacs.scm
/usr/share/texmf/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/ntemacs.html
% ll {mirrors.rcn.net}/release/emacs/emacs-21.2-1.tar.bz2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 11404615 Aug 10 21:41
{mirrors.rcn.net}/release/emacs/emacs-21.2-1.tar.bz2*
This might be a relevant clue, given the accidental clash or duplication of
the "ctags" and "etags" tools between the 21.2-1 Emacs package and the
"ctags" package:
% ll /bin/?tags.exe
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 94208 Dec 26 2001 /bin/ctags.exe*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 20 Dec 26 2001 /bin/etags.exe ->
ctags.exe*
% zcat /etc/setup/ctags.lst.gz
usr/bin/ctags.exe
usr/bin/etags.exe
usr/doc/ctags/COPYING
usr/doc/ctags/FAQ
usr/doc/ctags/QUOTES
usr/doc/ctags/README
usr/man/man1/ctags.1
usr/man/man1/etags.1
Something doesn't seem to add up here. I recall no error indication during
download or install of the emacs-21.2-1 package.
Does anyone have an explanation? I'm downloading the 21.2-3 package now,
but since I'm getting teTeX packages, incl. source (via modem, no less),
it'll be a while before I can install and test it.
I'm running Win2K Pro, SP2 (SP3 will be going in shortly).
