Emacs Doc View Mode
http://www.EmacsWiki.org/emacs/DocViewMode https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Document-View.html https://tsdh.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/view-documents-pdfpostscriptdvi-inside-emacs/#comment-4351 – asked the developer to rectify things on the resp. EmacsWiki page quoted above Ever since I noticed, that in new Emacsen you are able (resp. you should be able) to view e.g. PDFs within Emacs buffers, I wondered why this does not work “on certain platforms”. Today I finally searched for…

migrating account details from “text table” file to XML file
I started the XML in 2007, with a couple of entries migrated from the “text table” file. And now in 2014 there are still far too many entries in the “text table” file, that is obnoxious. But actually I should have expected that. Having both files in parallel makes me every so often look for…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: what versions to choose in March/April 2014
After completing my recent “incident article” on emacs/tramp/win/putty [link], I thought I should prepare an article with a clear subject resp. statement. This is it. I sort of think resp. hope, that all currently released versions work together well. But PuTTY-0.63 breaks this expectation. “Windows 7 Professional” is set – because that’s the current company…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: one of the pieces involved kept removing Unix file permissions — solved!
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/changes.html : 0.63 (released 2013-08-06) : Unix: PSCP and PSFTP now preserve the Unix file permissions, on copies in both directions. For quite a while whenever I edited a remote executable file (using emacs/tramp/putty on Windows), the file lost its executable privilige bit. Looks like that issue got solved with 0.63. What a relief! The very arrogant…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: “Fatal: Received unexpected end-of-file from server”
Short story – what (released) versions to choose: The combination emacs/tramp/putty on Windows does not work with the released PuTTY-0.63. Use either PuTTY-0.62 or a PuTTY development snapshot, r10016 works for me. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ – the latest released version was fine for me: 24.3.1 – I am always happy to get the very latest released version tramp –…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: “byte-code: couldn’t find a proper ‘ls’ command”
The PC at “my” desk at my customer’s site just got migrated from WinXP to win7, and I have to re-install and re-configure a couple of packages, and now I have trouble re-adopting tramp. Having to deal with tramp always brings Michael Albinus to my mind. I only met him during one week in 1988…
