[MITgcm-devel] what xemacs users always wanted to know

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

when you open a MITgcm-source-file with xemacs, it can happen that  
the xemacs-window splits in half displaying the opened file in the  
upper window and a warning message in the lower window (try eg., pkg/ 
mom_common/mom_u_bottomdrag.F):
(18) (local-variables/warning) File local-variables error: Local  
variables entry is missing the prefix

I finally found out that this message goes away, when you remove the  
":" after "LOCAL VARIABLES" or insert a white-space (line 46 in  
mom_u_bottomdrag.F):
C !LOCAL VARIABLES :  
====================================================
instead of
C !LOCAL VARIABLES: ====================================================

curious. I wonder how I can xemacs convince that this line is not for  
"him".
