Re: [ECB-list] Symbol's function definition is void: case

[Nick C. <ec...@go...>]

Replying to myself - I didn't have 2.37 byte compiled so probably didn't 
notice it then. I think I have tracked it down to ecb-upgrade.el namely 
revision 1.102 (according to CVS view). If I reverse that revision the 
byte compiled code works without complaining - whether thats correct of 
course is another question!
(Aside: why does the latest version not appear on the CVSview?).

Cheers

Nick
