Sorry to ask a potentially stupid question but how does this relate to
the sacha-stable at sacha's web-site.  I used tla to get the stable
from sacha along with planner and remember.  Is sacha's stable the
same as Emacs-wiki 2.70 or are they completely separate.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused! :-)

Cheers
Alex.
