41 ;; Disable Ange-FTP from file-name-handler-alist.
42 ;; To handle EFS, the following functions need to be dealt with:
44 ;; * dired-before-readin-hook contains efs-dired-before-readin
45 ;; * file-name-handler-alist contains efs-file-handler-function
46 ;; and efs-root-handler-function and efs-sifn-handler-function
47 ;; * find-file-hooks contains efs-set-buffer-mode
49 ;; But it won't happen for EFS since the XEmacs maintainers
50 ;; don't want to use a unified filename syntax.
