Yes, I'm aware of this. Of course, in a theoretical sense it is "totally" bogus. Practically, I think use of preceding-char in this way is bad practice in code that tries to be portable between XEmacs and the FSF's version, since 0 is an ASCII character in the FSF's version. I think it should be deprecated in XEmacs in general for historical reasons (ie, Ebola), but that's arguable. Hrvoje> [Ebola warnings] should be off by default now, even in Hrvoje> debugging builds. Conceded. I only ask that consideration be given to maintaining the code in case someone wants the facility, as I do. I have no idea what that would cost in maintenance though. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
