Re: [h-e-w] Problems loading ecb

[Lennart Borgman]

Hi Joe,

Could you please contact the ECB maintainer and ask? Since CEDET is
now beeing merged into Emacs difficulties like these are expected
during that process, but perhaps he is not aware (though I doubt it).
Please contact me again after this. I can upload a new version of
Emacs+EmacsW32 if that will solve your problem.
