I'm running emacs version 18.51.1 on a HP 9000/360 and I'm trying to
get ESC-. (find-tag) working.  It appears that the "tags" file I
create via "ctags" is incompatible with my version of emacs.
The error message I receive is "File tags not a valid tag table."

The documentation instructs that the tags file is to be created with
the "etags" command (not "ctags").  Where do I get such a beast? or
is the "ctags" command ok to use - which means my emacs is broken?

Thanx in advance.
