Hello There are at least two versions of babel.el which allows to use the babelfish translation service. - the first, original one, by Eric Marsden seems GNU emacs specific, although it talks about Xemacs. However the pkg does not work since it complains about string-make-unibyte which seems specific GNU emacs. Is there any Xemacs (Mule) function which does the same thing and could then be aliased? The relevant code is just (defun babel-form-encode (pairs) "Return PAIRS encoded for forms." (require 'w3-forms) (mapconcat (lambda (data) (concat (w3-form-encode-xwfu (string-make-unibyte (car data))) "=" (w3-form-encode-xwfu (string-make-unibyte (cdr data))))) pairs "&")) The other more recent version by Juergen Hoetzel <juergen(a)hoetzel.info&gt; is even more demanding emacs 22 is needed and the following functions are not known to be defined ** The following functions are not known to be defined: sentence-end, url-retrieve-synchronously, babel-make-unibyte However (cond ((fboundp 'string-make-unibyte) (fset 'babel-make-unibyte #'string-make-unibyte)) ((fboundp 'string-as-unibyte) (fset 'babel-make-unibyte #'string-as-unibyte)) (t (fset 'babel-make-unibyte #'identity))) Tells me that is again about string-make-unibyte. The 2 other functions I don't know sentence-end, url-retrieve-synchronously do there exist and Xemacs equivalent? It seems that url-retrieve-synchronously causes problem as the following shows. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
