Re: compiling option for nomule

Uwe> Ups, you mean no way to turn off file coding or mule? If it Uwe> is the later, please no this cannot be true. At present, file coding. You _can_ turn it on or off at runtime. See C-h a eol-detection RET. But this is a _user_ option. By the time your mode gets control, the detection and translation (if any) has long since been done, so that API won't help you. As for Mule, at worst --with-mule will become default; you'll still be able to compile without it until at least the public release after next (ie, well after 21.6 or 22.0, whatever we decide is next). But arguing against Mule is a losing battle. Asians must have it. No Unicode without Mule. Proper handling of the Euro sign can't be done without it, although you can fake it pretty well where the problem is ISO 8859-1 vs ISO 8859-15. But you're hosed if you want to use ISO 8859-2 or Cyrillic and embed a Euro sign in your text. It could theoretically be done without Mule, but it won't be---if only for GNU Emacs compatibility. People who have these needs are going to want to use the packages you maintain. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
