Me too: I last used it about 20 years ago I think. It then went dormant
afaik and building the version I had saved became harder with every
subsequent emacs release; finally I abandoned it - and a few years later
stumbled onto org-mode! But it was the first hyperlink system I used
and I have always had a soft spot for it. I just installed it and am
trying it out again. Good to have it back!
