I would have sworn that at the time 21.0.bsomething my XEmacs did not have that function (but maybe I was confusing it with find-file-literally, which is indeed gone). Yes. Perfect. However it needs my patch to insert-file-contents-literally to actually work (currently i-f-c-l does not set the coding system!) Jan P.S. If all goes well I can actually apply patches from thursday or so. I am in the middle of moving.
