Re: yow

[TheFlyingDutchman]

I have the same problem with Emacs 22.1.1 on windows. It looks like
the problem is that the file yow.lines (stored in the directory
pointed to by variable data-directory) only has one entry. When I
copied yow.lines from my Unix system to my Windows machine, yow gives
a different result each time.

Here is what file yow.lines should contain (with the question marks
all being replaced by ASCII 00 ( displays as ^@ in Emacs) ).
