Re: Missing command "edit-options"

Hello Alan!
Thanks for reporting this stale documentation!
Please use
(info "(xemacs)Easy Customization")
instead.
XEmacs-Beta:
I think
(info "(xemacs)Edit Options")
should be removed entirely from 21.4 and 21.5.
References to edit-options were removed from documentation strings of
defvar and defconst in 2000.
See
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.2.35.html
and
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.1.11.html
NB:
I can't find any traces of the actual removal of list-options and
edit-options commands from XEMacs in sources nor ChangeLog files.
GNU Emacs still has a file lisp/obsolete/options.el in my
not-quite-up-to-date CVS working directory.
Best regards!
Adrian

Ah; I never use virtual folders, which is why I didn’t see that. Thanks for
the report, I’ll try to keep an eye on the VM discussions to make sure any
patch gets applied.

I can’t see that happening.

Stop pretending to support versions < 21.4.
Stop loading cl-macs from this file (and hence, from

Move to loop syntax instead of mapc + lambda.
Avoid some needless version workarounds.

New variable, describing whether this XEmacs supports the
`safe-charsets' #'make-coding-system parameter.
* latin-euro-latin7.el (find-charset):
Same approach as in -latin10.el, no support for < 21.4; no
explicit load of cl-macs, loop syntax instead of mapc + lambda,
avoid needless version workarounds.
* latin-euro-latin7.el (find-coding-system):
Specify the `safe-charsets' parameter if we can, avoiding test
`query-coding-region' test failures in the trunk.
Avoid some needless compatibility measures.
* latin-euro-latin8.el:
Same work as in `latin-euro-latin7.el'

the file.

a couple of thoughts about codings in 21.4
14 years, 9 months
Julian Bradfield
I've recently had all the non-UTF8 non-ASCII mail in my folders corrupted,
irrecoverably so (short of searching through many days' backups, which
I can't do myself). The cause of the corruption is bugs in VM, exposed
by my switching all my coding system defaults to utf-8. The reason
it's irrecoverable is the putrid pile of dingos' kidneys that is
mule-ucs, and in particular the way it does no validity checking at
all when it decodes alleged utf-8 (rather than copying the invalid
bytes into the buffer as Latin1, as the ISO2022, SJIS and Big5 methods
do).
This caused me to observe:
(1) 21.4(.22) does have the necessary infrastructure to handle UTF8
itself for the BMP: it has UTF8 coding, it has mule-to-ucs-table
and ucs-to-mule-table and uses them in the C. So, with a fairly
small amount of work, plus the use of 9 private 2D charsets (for
which I had to lose chinese-isoir165 and ethiopic, which is frankly
no loss), one can implement UTF8 for the entire BMP in Lisp
without having to touch mule-ucs at all.
To me, this sounds like an improvement, that could be shipped
with 21.4 to make it more robust. However, ...
(2) The C routine coding_decode_utf8 *also* doesn't do any validity
checking! Who's responsible for that, eh?
This should be fixed, which I will do instanter (I already wrote
the code for my (currently suspended) pure Unicode fork anyway).
Any interest in having these in 21.4? (It is still the advertised
stable branch!)
Secondly, I also find it essential nowadays (if I could keep my mail
uncorrupted) to handle GB18030. So does anybody in China. So I
implemented that in C, using a mapping table to Unicode.
Do you want that? (It should be almost the same in 21.5.)
On that topic, it's a sad truth that that PRC-locale software
(especially that made by Microsoft) advertises text as GB2312 when in
fact it's GBK or even GB18030. This is just too big a fact to
ignore. So what I would like to do is arrange that my "gb2312" coding
system actually decodes GB18030 on read, but correctly only puts out
real GB2312 on write. I can't see any easy way to arrange this in
Lisp. Is there one?
Julian.

oh! you're riding MY hobby-horse! in modern Xorg's X servers the color
database is builtin at compilation time, the eventual /etc/.../rgb.txt
is only present as a reference and is never ever read by the server, a
thing that upsets the fanatic in me, <from a soapbox: "I DO WANT TO TO

If he has, then it’s 21.4 or an old 21.5; the current list of fallback fonts
is different.

It would be simple enough to move to hex values for the various colours in
Emacs.ad (maybe leaving the existing text values in comments); that would

We handle it reasonably on 21.5. See objects-xlike-inc.c, search for “Your X
