This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! As requested by Adrian Aichner on comp.emacs.xemacs, I am running xemacs-21.4.3-4mdk and want to be able to read MSDOS text files; Adrian recommended testing 'file-coding, and suggested filing a bug report if it fails. (if (featurep 'file-coding) (message "ok") (message "no")) displays "no" ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux ke.mandrakesoft.com 2.4.5-8mdksmp #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 16:50:25 CEST 2001 i686 unknown ../../configure 'i386-mandrake-linux' '--with-gpm=no' '--with-sound=none' '--with-pop' '--mail-locking=flock' '--with-clash-detection' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-xpm' '--with-xface' '--dynamic=yes' '--with-ncurses' '--without-ldap' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--with-pop' '--with-clash-detection' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--infopath=/usr/share/info' '--with-x11' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--mandir=/home/warly/rpm/tmp/xemacs-root//usr/share/man/man1' '--with-tty=yes' '--with-meta-same-as-alt' '--with-mule=no' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' XEmacs 21.4.3 "Academic Rigor" configured for `i386-mandrake-linux'.
