That's bad news for you; it means that 21.5.29 is too
old to support the modern way of defining simple coding
systems like ISO 8859 and Microsoft code pages. You'll
need a more recent build of XEmacs.
Now there is a problem or two.
- I am trapped in 21.5.29, because I need the xsymbol
patch you once send me (and saved my life :-D ), but
which I cannot apply to more recent versions of
21.5.X. We had a discussion about this issue some
weeks ago and Aidan admit that he changed a API which
caused the problem with xsymbol (and made your patch
necessary). He even said he wanted to un do this
change in the API, but it seems that he is now too
busy to deal with it.
- what's about all the users of older version of 21.5
or even 21.4, they will not enjoy the possibility of
cp1255 support?
In 21.5.29, you could try
M-: (define-coding-system-alias 'cp1255 'iso-8859-8)
RET
which will allow you to read the Hebrew (I think), but will not be
able to decode the extra punctuation characters that CP1255 supports.
There seems to be a different problem, but I think it is
better to open a new subject.
