I.P. addresses are:  alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu = 128.52.46.18

efs 1.9 is still beta test code.

reporter.el is no longer bundled with efs.  It seems fairly
widespread.  reporter V1.29 is available in the efs distribution
directory, for those who need it.  Also, emacs 18 users need comint.el
to run efs.  We will put a copy of comint V2.03 in the efs
distribution directory as well.

Changes from 1.8 to 1.9:

dired:

1. A few typo bugs fixed.

2. dired-do-shell-command had been changed slightly.  The new
   interface is that with a prefix:
   C-u     It performs a separate shell command on each marked file.
   C-u C-u It performs a separate shell command on each marked file
           and in the directory of the file.
   In either of these two cases, if dired-shell-failure-marker is
   non-nil, files for which the shell command exited with non-zero
   exit status will be marked with this character.  By default it's ?!.

3. Fixed the bug in doing background shell commands on remote hosts.


efs:

1. Fixed various bugs in efs-guardian.el.  Thanks to David Karr for
   debugging.

2. Fixed bug with comint-last-input-end in gateway code.

3. Fixed erroneous eval of after-load-alist in efs-load.

4. Integrated with Jamie's passwd.el package.

5. Got diligent about scrubbing all plain-text copies of passwords in
   the emacs image with fillarray.

6. Think that I've got us backwards compatible with FSF emacs 19.22
   and Lucid Emacs 19.9.

7. Fixed bug where efs was getting fooled by the emacs 19 diff being
   featurep. 

8. Fixed bug where we weren't supplying the correct number of args to
   abbreviate-file-name in Lucid Emacs 19.10.

9. The default-dir package has been cleaned up a bit, so that efs can
   use it to avoid overloading read-file-name in FSF Emacs 19.
