I am currently using Emacs v21.3 on platforms I am working on. This
includes Windows 2K/XP, SunOS, Tru64, and Linux (flavors). Would use
Emacs on OpenVMS if I could find a functioning binary for AXP. Heck,
I'd use ANY version of Emacs on VMS if I could find a functioning
binary. I've had no luck compiling it.
I have been playing around with newer releases of Emacs, 22.0.50
recently. In all cases they have installed TRAMP in lieu of ANGE-FTP.
Alas, IMHO, TRAMP is much too slow and intense. ANGE-FTP works, for me
at least, much better. By an order of magnitude. Salt in the ound,
TRAMP does not work in the least at all no way with VMS. I work in a
VMS shop. That REALLY kills TRAMP from my point of view.
So I want to use ANGE-FTP with Emacs 22.x. Alas, setting the tramp
default method, ala (setq tramp-default-method "ftp"), still leaves
TRAMP in the path being difficult. I want to get rid of it.
Completely.
How can I completely remove TRAMP from a release? I can install
ANGE-FTP via my site-lisp directory and my .emacs file. I commented
out the TRAMP section in ../lisp/loaddefs.el; however, that didn't
work. Did I miss something or is there somewhere else to go as well?
Thank you for your help.
