Michigan Dept. of EECS [__][__] Hi Michael. The version you mention is the most recent I've found. I use it exclusively for MMa on the Sun Solaris Workstations here at work, since the X front end seems to have a penchant for random core dumping. I did a bit of hacking to extend font-lock to functions, keywords, and other syntax. Also the In[_]:=/Out[_]= fields. I consider myself an emacs tyro, so it's still somewhat crude and incomplete. (E.g., I haven't been able to make efficient regexps smart enough to properly colorize a "]]" that indicates the end of an array index, and the "]]" that comes from nested functions like "Sin[Cos[t]]". You need efficient regexps if you have font-lock on and you accidentally print a 100000-element vector to the screen!) Email me if you want a copy. If you come across a "colorful" math.el, please let me know. My version is still too ugly to be anything but embarrassing. -Brian -------------------------------------------|---------------------------- Brian J.
