Package: zile
Version: zile
Severity: normal

I have reverted to version 1.6 home-compiled  as the v.2 build on 
Debian does not have either minibuffer help (f10, f9) or syntax highlighting.

Minibuffer help is essential to those not familiar with the rather curious emacs
key bindings - this low threshold to entry sets zile apart from Emacs.

Syntax highlighting is no longer a standard feature on 1.7+ and doesn't compile 
cleanly.

I suggest the main package zile should be based on zile v1 with syntax 
highlighting
and obvious help system. v2 should be released as a concurrent package. Once
v2 implements obvious help system and syntax highlighting, v2 can replace v1.

invocation: If both packages are installed, zile or zile1 invokes v1. zile2 
invokes v2
if only v2 is installed, zile or zile2 invokes v2.
