The Elisp file make-regexp compiles fine. However both versions of beta-font-lock still gives compilation errors under XEmacs 20.4. The 1996 as well as the 1999 version of Erik's beta-font-lock produces: Compiling file /usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/beta/beta-font-lock.el at Wed Mar 3 23:30:34 1999 ** assignment to free variable beta-font-lock-decl-regexp ** reference to free variable beta-font-lock-decl-regexp !! Symbol's value as variable is void ((beta-font-lock-decl-regexp)) and no output of the elc file. Maybe this gives you a hint, where to change the coding. Best, Michael
