I downloaded and installed xemacs-sumo-2000-05-24.tar.gz. PCL-CVS is release v2_9_9. I used `cvs-status' to get *cvs* buffer, then tried to get status of a file via `cvs-mode-status' and got the error : Cannot open load file: mule The backtrace is: Signaling: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "mule") load-internal("mule" nil t nil nil nil) load("mule" nil t nil) require(mule) load-internal("cvs-status" nil nil nil nil nil) load("cvs-status" nil nil nil) cvs-status-mode() cvs-temp-buffer("status") cvs-mode-do("status" nil nil :dont-change-disc t :show t :postproc nil) #<compiled-function nil "...(19)" [cvs-mode-do "status" flags nil :dont-change-disc t :show :postproc cvs-auto-remove-handled status (...)] 11>() #<compiled-function nil "...(15)" [commandp -cvs-mode!-fun call-interactively] 2>() cvs-mode!(#<compiled-function nil "...(19)" [cvs-mode-do "status" flags nil :dont-change-disc t :show :postproc cvs-auto-remove-handled status (...)] 11>) #<compiled-function (flags) "...(4)" [cvs-mode! #<compiled-function nil "...(19)" ... 11>] 2 ("/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/pcl-cvs/pcl-cvs.elc" . 49665) (list (cvs-flags-query ...
