I'm aware of that. However, I've never seen any, and the
majority of
active XEmacs developers can live fine in 7 bits. For the core of
developers it's currently a fairly academic issue.
Note that just getting a decent MULE version for Win32 would expand your
potential user base immensly. AFAIK, it would cover most usual coding
systems, and would have a "decent" UTF-8 support as well. But as long as the
21.5 branch doesn't have a Win32 binary test program, I'm unable to
contribute. I don't have the opportunity to build and develop - I could use
and thus test, but I'm denied that opportunity.
Sure. But it's also tragic that there are basically no
developers
coming forward from that community to help out with XEmacs, compared
to the number of downloads we're seeing on the netinstaller URL.
"Real Life" effectively prevents me from contributing that way. Most users
probably don't even have the coding skills necessary.
Again, I'm greatful for your efforts, and would like to be able to contribute
somehow. However, as tings stand now, I might have to move to GNU Emacs on
Win32 just to get my Gnus to show encoded messages better.
Cheers,
Camillo

Of course. But more users doesn't translate directly into anything
except bragging rights on comp.emacs.

This would be easy for a volunteer to do, I think. Andy's release
scripts are part of the distribution (I think you have to Cygwin for
those, but of course the volunteer could execute by hand if they don't
have Cygwin). I'll post a call for volunteers.
