If I load up a msdos style file in a vanillla Hello Andy, hello Lars, I looked into this some more, since I had problems applying patches to XEmacs under system-type windows-nt for quite a while now. My problem seems to be that patches which are not in DOS format fail to apply to files which are in DOS format. I am using Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10 `Halibut' (client) and its patch program (which is Patch version 2.1). Any clues, recommendations, etc.? Back to gnus-setup: I am confident to have found a different cause for the problem you describe (which I am experiencing also under (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.0 \"Pyrenean-pre8\" [Lucid] (i386-pc-win32) of Sat Nov 28 1998 on TWILIGHT"). Goes like this: mime-setup requires tm-setup which requires tl-misc which requires emu which requires emu-e19 for no-mule XEmacs-21.0 because of this: (cond (running-mule-merged-emacs ;; for mule merged EMACS (require 'emu-e20) ) (running-xemacs-with-mule ;; for XEmacs/mule (require 'emu-x20) ) ((boundp 'MULE) ;; for MULE 1.* and 2.* (require 'emu-mule) ) ((boundp 'NEMACS) ;; for NEmacs and NEpoch (require 'emu-nemacs) ) (t ;; for EMACS 19 and XEmacs 19 (without mule) (require 'emu-e19) )) Finally, emu-e19.el contains this little marvel: (defun set-buffer-file-coding-system (coding-system &optional force) "Set buffer-file-coding-system of the current buffer to CODING-SYSTEM. \[emu-e19.el; Emacs 20 emulating function]" ) So, there!
