Date: 24 Mar 93 13:31:46 Organization: AWA Defence Industries, Adelaide, Australia Lines: 22 Distribution: world Message-Id: Nntp-Posting-Host: yertchuk.awadi.com.au Comments: Hyperbole mail buttons accepted, v3.06.

C++mode suggests adding syntax patches to the emacs source so it can recognise the 2 different styles of C++ comments. I fetched patches pre-syntax-patch.4.2 and syntax-patch.18.59 from ftp.cme.nist.gov:pub/gnu and applied them to my epoch 4.2 source tree, but now I find that syntax-decode.el that comes with lightbrite does not understand the modified syntax tables. This causes lightbrite to highlight the wrong things for all modes. So my question is: does anyone have patches to syntax-decode.el that allow it to understand the new syntax table format? Or will I have to hack it myself? Cheers, Dave.
