I also haven't had time to write up a web page for it, but retrieve the following files (they are marked as application/octet-stream by my HTTPD server, so they should be saved to file immediately): http://www.naggum.no/emacs/hyperspec.el http://www.naggum.no/emacs/hyperspec.elc thanks for the interest. #\Erik -- if you think this year is "97", _you_ are not "year 2000 compliant". see http://www.naggum.no/emacs/ for Emacs-20-related material.
