Dear Ange / Sandy:

The following is probably not an efs bug, but it occurs with the dired modified
by and distributed with efs, so I'm not sure who to send the report to.

The problem occurs when a number of files in a dired buffer are marked and then
byte compiled.  If an error occurs on one of the files, then the error message
appears in the dired buffer and the attempt to compile the next file fails with
a ``No file on line'' message.  I'll show you a contrived case of the problem
below

  /home/kenr/lib/emacs/efs:
  total 3374
  drwxrwxr-x   2 kenr     serg        1536 Feb 22 10:09 .
  drwxrwxrwx  14 kenr     serg         512 Feb 17 15:09 ..
* -rw-r--r--   1 kenr     serg        6051 Feb 22 00:40 Makefile
  /home/kenr/lib/emacs/efs/Makefilec: No such file or directory

* -rw-r--r--   1 kenr     serg       20288 Feb  7 02:13 

Notice that this problem does not occur with the FSF Ange-ftp and dired.

Cheers,

Ken Robinson
