I'm not sure whether quail/*.el files can be removed, but it might be a reasonable choice. However, it is strongly recommend that all source files are available to the users because Emacs is GPL'ed software. How about providing both an Emacs distribution (without big *.el files) and its complete- source-files.tar.gz? Sincerely, Seiji Zenitani zenit****@tkg*****
