I had this same problem after I installed Mandrake 9.0. For me,
unset LANG
unset LC_TIME
before starting XEmacs made dired work again.
HTH,
Vin
This seems to work. Thanks!
What's that say about how XEmacs will handle files?
I am all over the place with character encodings and font issues, and that's
just to learn to use the tools I'm using to learn to use the tools I want to
be using. Trust me, this is not the only bug report I've filed in the past
72 hours. This UTF-8 transsition is essential. I've seen the problems
resulting from conflicting character encodings, and they are deadly.
