Question: Help with mdraw.el

Question: Help with mdraw.el

alt.ascii-art · 4 messages · 29 Aug 1994 - 2 Sep 1994
I have recently aquired mdraw for emacs and I ran into a problem.
I can't figure out how to compile it.

It <the beginning of the file> says to bite compile it and load it. My question
does anyone know WHICH compiler I'm supposed to use? I would REALLY like to
use this in Emacs <since I'm a good artist and this can help my Ascii Art>
but I and not EXTREMELY intamate with the Unix system and I am at a loss for
which compiler to use so I can utilize mdraw for the Emacs.

Any help is appreciated,

You don't actually need to byte-compile it, but it'll run faster if
you do.

	M-x byte-compile-file
to byte-compile it.
	M-x load-file
to load it.

(M-x means hold down the "meta" key and type "x".  If you don't have a
"meta" key, then you can type "ESC x" instead.)

You could also autoload it adding

(add-hook 'picture-mode-hook (lambda nil (load-library "mdraw")))

in your .emacs

go into emacs; type M-x byte-compile-file and it'll prompt you for the
filename; it'll compile it for you.  it'll end up as mdraw.elc.

type M-x load-file to run it.

btw - you are probably better off asking emacs questions on an emacs
newsgroup; or reading the help - press C-h lots.
