FWIW, I have always built with the following (19.10 => 20.4): with-menubars=lucid --with-scrollbars=lucid --with-dialogs=motif and never had a single problem. Irix 5.2, 5.3, 6.2 but not yet 6.5 (I still use the prebuilt xemacs on the SGI freeware CD and I don't know which options it was built with). I'm not saying that there aren't any problems with the motif dialogs, I'm merely saying that you don't necessarily run into them. At least "dead man" sounds a bit strong-worded :-) -Tor

The .elc can be used by both versions. I believe this is possible, but slightly ugly. My code that creates an ISO 8859-2 char looks approximately like this: (defun latin2-char (code) (if (and (> code 128) (featurep 'mule)) (make-char 'latin-iso8859-2 (- code 128)) (int-char code))) This means that you can take an 8-bit integer code (which is portable across everything) and a charset, and make them into an appropriate Mule character. > Having a conditionally compiled in mule is good however it makes > things like this hard.

The right thing to do this is to port `make-char' to non-Mule XEmacs. Me and Olivier Galibert have hashed it out how it needs to be done, now only someone needs to implement it (it's trivial[1]). [1] Trivial as in real programmers' trivial. The dictionary goes like this: trivial == might take me some time to do, but it's not hard. easy == might take me quite some time to do, but it's not too hard. straightforward == possibly very hard and time-consuming, but the algorithm is known in advance. hard == undoable, except by a real programmer.

The updated packages will be Gnus, rmail, tm and apel.

And now do it such that all of the following are true (which they currently are). 1. Loading the .elc is fast 2. The .el file is used by both versions. 3. The .elc can be used by both versions. Having a conditionally compiled in mule is good however it makes things like this hard. Basically the will need to be some load time character set conversion defined such that it is the identity on latin1 XEmacs. Doing this fast will probably make the code ugly. Jan

bug: set-terminal-coding-system doesn't work? 25 years, 6 months

T. Kurosaka - Sun Professional Services

Sorry for so many reports (or screams for help :-) today. This is the last one for today. I ran xemacs -nw within an EUC terminal emulator window, and: M-x set-terminal-coding-system euc-japan worked fine for displaying the Japanese text. I then typed: M-X set-keyboard-coding-system euc-japan then I entered some Japanese characters. No characters were inserted and I've got: No word found to check! error in the minibuffer. What is it? -kuro

That timing is O.K. with me. Alternatively, you could send me the diffs on the files you named and let me pick out the xfontset related portions. I'm going to be off the Internet Thursday and Friday, but if you can get me something by close of business-ish today I can work on it and test it off-line.

*yaa-hooo*. IBM finally fixed it!!! 25 years, 6 months

Valdis Kl=?iso8859-4?Q?=BA?=tnieks

The long-standing (since AIX 4.3.0 came out in late 1997) problem with Xt wedges seems to be fixed. X11.base.lib.4.3.2.5 is the fix level required. Minimal testing shows that: a) 'xemacs -nw' no longer spins chewing CPU. b) --with-dragndrop=no doesn't seem to be required - I suspect library indigestion with IBM's Motif/CDE libs calling MIT X11R6.4 Xt and X11 libs. I need to be doing more testing on (b) to make sure all of that is clean now. I will be sending a patch for the PROBLEMS file to xemacs-patches shortly. /Valdis APAR NUMBER: <IX89470> RESOLVED AS: PROGRAM ERROR ABSTRACT: <IX89470>: LIBXT.A INCORRECT HANDLING OF EXCEPTIONS IN XTAPPADDINPUT ORIGINATING DETAILS: Applications may malfunction when using XtAppAddInput with XtInputExceptMask.
