XEmacs and char representation in blowfish.el

Hi, can someone explain me how to use the code from blowfish.el? I tried it but encountered only errors. I tried it with Emacs and it worked fine. I searched a bit and found that chars are written in that file like that: ,---- | (defconst blowfish-p-array-inits | [ | [?\x243f ?\x6a88] [?\x85a3 ?\x08d3] [?\x1319 ?\x8a2e] [?\x0370 ?\x7344] | [?\xa409 ?\x3822] [?\x299f ?\x31d0] [?\x082e ?\xfa98] [?\xec4e ?\x6c89] | [?\x4528 ?\x21e6] [?\x38d0 ?\x1377] [?\xbe54 ?\x66cf] [?\x34e9 ?\x0c6c] | [?\xc0ac ?\x29b7] [?\xc97c ?\x50dd] [?\x3f84 ?\xd5b5] [?\xb547 ?\x0917] | [?\x9216 ?\xd5d9] [?\x8979 ?\xfb1b] | ]) `---- (and a lot more chars). XEmacs (at least 21.5) doesn't accept chars written like that. Or am I wrong here? If you look at the value of that variable it#s something like that which seems to be wrong: ,----[ C-h v blowfish-p-array-inits RET ] | `blowfish-p-array-inits' is a variable declared in Lisp. | -- loaded from "/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ecrypto/blowfish.el" | | Value: [[?$ 3f ?j 88] [?\^Å a3 ?\^H d3] [?\^S 19 ?\^Ê 2e] [?\^C 70 ?s 44] [?¤ 9 ?8 22] [?\) 9f ?1 d0] [?\^H 2e ?ú 98] [?ì 4e ?l 89] [?E 28 ?! e6] [?8 d0 ?\^S 77] [?¾ 54 ?f cf] [?4 e9 ?\^L 6c] [?À ac ?\) b7] [?É 7c ?P dd] [?\? 84 ?Õ b5] [?µ 47 ?\t 17] [?\^Ò 16 ?Õ d9] [?\^É 79 ?û 1b]] | | Documentation: | not documented as a variable. `---- bye Karl -- `Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
