Tried it, but I got the same result.  Then I renames the .el files to
.el.save.  That allowed XEmacs to get started.  However, trying to visit a
remote file fails with the error:

    Wrong number of arguments: tramp-find-method, 4

and this stack trace:

  # bind (standard-output stack-trace-on-signal debug-on-signal 
stack-trace-on-error debug-on-error)
  # (unwind-protect ...)
  tramp-find-method("rsync" nil "orca.mojam.com" "public_html/home/home.html")
  # bind (v filename)

  # bind (elt res handler-alist filename)

(read-coding-system "Coding system: ")) t)

  # (condition-case ... . error)
  # (catch top-level ...)

I've just updated from 2.0.51 to 2.1.7.  I have these tramp settings in my
init.el file:

    (setq tramp-auto-save-directory auto-save-directory)
    (setq tramp-default-method "rsync")
    (defun ediff-file-remote-p (file-name)
      (car (cond ((featurep 'efs-auto) (efs-ftp-path file-name))
                 ((featurep 'tramp) (cons (tramp-tramp-file-p file-name) nil))
                 ((fboundp 'file-remote-p) (file-remote-p file-name)))))

I didn't see anything in the documentation about upgrading from earlier
versions.  Is there something else I need to do to make tramp 2.1.7 and
XEmacs play nice together?

Thx,
