Re: dired and {coding-systems|MULE} together breaks `make-glyph'.

ms> Dired sure isn't doing it. It may be an accessory before the fact though. I ran into a problem in latin-unity.el, which hangs a function on write-region-pre-hook, where the hook gets called once, then dired's (yep) handler gets called from write-region-internal, which calls the hook again. And (like here) for some reason the standard "i'm-already-in-a-handler" flag didn't do the right thing. Now, this hook I'm talking about is right smack in the middle of the coding system detection stuff. I don't _know_, but there's a certain odor wafting from that general direction.... So if you can say "I want binary and THAT IS THAT" you should bind `coding-system-for-read' to binary. If you're already doing that, I'm not sure what's happening. There is also i-f-c-pre-hook which you should be able to use to kneecap autodetection according to a computation in almost all cases. (The only thing that it can't override is if coding-system-for-read is bound.) That's what it's for. HTH, if not I'll try to take a look at the code in question tomorrow. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
