Re: Some functions about the input method are unavailable...

JH> I suspect that the problem here is that 21.4 does not support JH> MULE on Windows (the missing variables and functions from you JH> report live in XEmacs-21.4.8\lisp\mule). To be precise, the distributed binaries are not built with Mule support, and if you do build in support for Mule, it is very unreliable. Don't bother, as 21.5 now has excellent Mule support on Windows, using the native Windows NT Unicode APIs when available. JH> 21.5 does build for MULE, but I have no idea how solid that JH> support is. Mule support is very solid. Unicode support is patchy, but easy to extend. (Translation: if you need a specific Unicode feature and you're not a programmer, speak up! We can probably add it fairly quickly.) Of course, you have to put up with the vagaries of the development codebase, but (unless you're very lucky) that's much better than putting up with the restrictions on Mule in 21.4, even with Ikeyama's patches. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
