Re: Build Reports

[...about the Euro symbol being converted into ~ ...] Since this has been brought up: I strongly believe that quietly losing data without warning is EVIL and should be avoided at all cost. XEmacs sometimes does that. It did this to me once, when I finished editing a huge HTML file containing ISO-8859-2 characters, saved it and logged off. Much to my surprise, all ISO-8859-2 characters were replaced by tildes. Several hours of work gone. Now, surely there is an explanation -- I think I figured out why this happens, but I do not remember the exact reasons. I'm sure I've reported it to this list. My XEmacs doesn't seem to do this now: it sometimes converts non-7bit characters into the MULE coding, which is a pain to convert back to anything usable, but at least one can recover from that. If XEmacs still does this (loses data by doing a one-way conversion) for ANY REASON whatsoever, it has to be changed. Everyone who thinks otherwise should be forced to spend several hours replacing tildes with appropriate accented characters. So, perhaps it is worth investigating why Adrian's XEmacs ate the euro. --J.
