Thanks all. I found, with a little experimenting, that I didn't need
much of what I thought I needed.
I am using version 21.3 of emacs, if that matters.
I didn't find mode-compile.el on my system, and so I downloaded it from
the site you cite above. I tried to byte compile within emacs, as
instructed, but no mode-compile.elc is made. The output I get is:
Compiling file c:/emacs-21.3/mode-compile.el at Fri Jun 30 11:54:37
2006
!! End of file during parsing
This looks like an error message, but it doesn't make sense given that
the last line in the file is:
;;; mode-compile.el ends here
This tells me that the file I'm working with has not been truncated.
Why does byte-compiling this file fail? Is the file on the above site
defective? Is the file available elsewhere?
