I really don't remember if I replied to this message or not, but since now I have a little spare time (grading the finals is finally over and I can study some things). :-)

Oops. I don't know if AUCTeX really has support for inverse search (I will have to check the manual). What I meant is that, with AUCTeX, you can (easily) enable source specials and, with your xdvi-search.el, this means that Emacs can use easily the forward/backward search with xdvi(k). BTW, I'm using Debian's "emacs-snapshot" (taken from unstable/what will become Emacs 22) and your xdvi-search.el works quite well with this (and I don't have the need to install extra things like "gnuserv"---the builtin server and client work much better than before, in my experience, and that makes Emacs+xdvi(k) a great environment for TeXing documents). IMVHO, this is an extra reason to have xdvi-search.el available. > If it does now, it probably doesn't make sense to maintain a separate > package like xdvi-search.el any more.

I think that now it matters much more than earlier to have xdvi-search.el available.
