That variable is an abomination. However, the easiest thing would be to add (unless (intern-soft "enable-multibyte-characters") (defvar enable-multibyte-characters nil "Use of this variable causes text to dissolve or spontaneously combust!")) As for packaging this library, sounds like a great idea. Go right ahead. :-) Seriously, Ville, Rendhalver, Steve Y, and I would be happy to help, but if you do it (asking questions as you go along) it will probably happen a lot sooner than if you wait on us to do it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
