I picked up sgnus v0.80 a couple days ago and failed to get it installed because of a zillion complaints during byte compilation of the form: !! Invalid read syntax (("#")) I checked and saw that v0.82 was already out so I tried that instead; same problem. I enclose the output in an attachment. I can't find any suspicous `#'s in the code outside of string literals and comments! I'm using GNU Emacs 19.29. Help! My user's are pounding on my office door! And thanks!
