- As someone has pointed out to me, it's very bad practice for the
- loading of a file to have side effects like the last two lines of
- linenumbers.el --
-
- (or ln-process
- (ln-start-process))
-
- -- and makes for trouble if one wants to dump an Emacs including such
- code. It would be much better therefore to delete these two lines
- from linenumbers.el and insert them in the .emacs file after the
- loading instructions.
-
- Apologies for yet another change.
-
- Neil.
