Re: SUGGESTION: Mule-on-Windows, full Unicode support XEmacs

SJT> Are you setting file-coding-system-alist and using a Cyrillic language SJT> environment? Windows codepage 1250 is East-European codepage - a modified ISO 8859-2. In my tests I was trying to setup XEmacs to read and write CP1250 "DOS" encoding by default and to use any other encoding (ISO-8859-2 and/or Unicode) on request. I have attached my "testing" initialization file. What I was referring to was the fact, that I have found no easy way to setup XEmacs to behave as any Windows locale aware application should: to read and write ANSI ( or OEM ) charset by default on non-recognized files. ( I am aware that I testing a non-finished implementation. ) If automatic configuration is not possible perhaps a new "language environment" "MSWindows" should me added? Something that would setup the correct coding systems according to current Windows locale with a simple command. Anyway, the two problems that I have are documented in the attachment: - As soon as I specify "buffer-file-coding-system-for-read" the DOS EOL detection stops working on a simple text files. - I was trying to setup coding systems using "prefer-coding-system" which failed. -- MM.
