Hi, Ira -

(Copying XEmacs developers; others may well know more than I do -
please "reply all" if you have further comments.)

I vaguely recall some kind of parsing error for HOME directories
containing spaces and I think this has been fixed. I recommend taht
you try this setup kit:
http://ftp.xemacs.org/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.24.exe instead
of 21.4.22.

Regards,
Vin

Hi Vin,
Sorry to bother you. I’ve been using xemacs with vhdl-mode on a windows box
for many years. I recently got a new windows 7 PC.
When we installed version [version 21.4.22; December 2011] on the box,
vhdl-mode is not working.
Without doing anything, Verilog-mode (.v files) and Perl mode (.pl files)
both work fine.
I tried to update the package list and I’m unable to with . I turned off
(1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (invalid-operation Cannot send
(2) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (invalid-operation Cannot send
(3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: DIR
failed: )
Is there a version available that is precompiled with the vhdl-mode package?
Is there another way to get VHDL mode working again?
Thanks.

Hi Vin
Thanks for the reply. I downloaded that link you have below and ran it through virustotal which uses multiple virus scanners to scan a file. It reports that it is infected with

Trojan/StartPage.wqo

This is the Virus total website I used to scan the file:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/

Some of the other xemacs executables I scanned had a different adware issue show up but not a Trojan. Do you believe the file is infected?

Thanks.

FYI,
There are no spaces in my home dir. The init.el file is located here:

C:\Users\irv9457\.xemacs

The init.el file is being read by xemacs because if I place the following lines in the file, I do see an error saying : "File mode specification error: (file-error " cannot open load file" "vhdl-mode")

(autoload 'vhdl-mode "vhdl-mode" "vhdl mode" t )
;; Any files that end in .v should be in vhdl mode
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.vhd\\'" . vhdl-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; Any files in vhdl mode should have their keywords colorized
(add-hook 'vhdl-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1)))

Is the above is necessary to run vhdl-mode?

I do have a copy of vhdl-mode.el in the .xemacs directory.

Thanks.

Hi Vin,
This was our bug. I had an IT guy install it for me. He did not select the VHDL mode in the install. That explains why it didn’t' work.
Sorry to bother you all and thanks for producing a great product.
Ira.
