This should probably be fixed in call-process (I can't use shell-command-on-region to pipe a region of a buffer through a shell command if default-directory doesn't exist, for example, and I'd like to be able to). Perhaps default-directory could default to the value of temporary-file-directory if it doesn't exist. It would be easy to change what call-process does when default-directory does not exist. What is the best thing for it to do in that case?
It should signal an error, that the directory doesn't exist. How does one create a buffer whose default-directory doesn't exist? -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
