- Thanks for the response. I already thought "Another message that went into
- the big BLACK USENET HOLE"
-
- I do not know anything about the concetp of dumping EMACS 18.58, and I will
- try what you told me. But I do NOT understand why the simple method with the
- environment variables does not work. It look like it did in your case either.
- As I only have the binaries I don't know if and how I must specify the
- PURESIZE parameter. I hope first method with copying the *.elc files into
- the e-bin directory works.
