If refered to the cvs conflict marks and patches like ding. I've ever
thought we can shorten the way of reporting bugs against your's and
Günther's modes, because your on the list. But if it's not so, next time
you get a bug report.

If your mode is not loadable without additive actions it's a bug. The
mode does not run and I would not request the users to find out what
should they load before the can use a mode. And the like I think it is a
bug if the functions a mode depend on are not in the whole archive.

Bye, Jörg.
