Installing on the macs is a breeze, but Yes, you can move the emacs bytecode from one machine to another *IF* the processor endianness is the same. So Intel <--> Intel is fine. I don't know a little-endian architecture off the top of my head -- anybody out there? (and of course, I'd love to be corrected/clarified as I'm not hardcore CS/CE). Mohit and Rohit are twin brothers. Mohit is tall and burly and works at Motorola; Rohit is short and wiry and works at Intel. They are highly competitive but inseparable. Both working as engineers at large chip manufacturers, they constantly annoy their colleagues with their constant bickering about whether big-Indianness is better than little-Indianness. > XP is a pain, as I don't have cygwin installed there. The two macs are But you don't *have* to compile the elisp for org-mode. Go ahead and move the .el around and it'll work just the same. The lisp interpreter in Emacs does the byte-compilation before executing anyway; pre-compiling just makes things faster by skipping the "compile" step. -- Christopher DeMarco IT Director MAYA Group +1-412-708-9660
