It says (in EUC-encoded Japanese) "There is no file or directory like that." Mark the region and hit it with `(decode-coding-region (mark) (point) 'euc-jp)'. There's supposed to be a process-coding-system variable in Mule 2.3, but I don't think we've implemented it. One would guess it's a bit unreliable in localized contexts, and useless in multilingual ones (eg, the Japanese Web, one language, a Babel of encodings). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
