Re: thank you for breaking latin1 re-searches

Er, since when did it break? Might it have always been broken (in Mule)? (I can't recall any recent changes up to 21.4.12 that could cause this. Sorry, I myself can't test quickly, all my old xemacsen are broken by wanting old libraries. :-( ) Jamie> Any clue how the hell I work around this? Go to your Jamie> *scratch* buffer.

(re-search-forward "Ü\\|[xyz]") (re-search-forward "\\(Ü\\|Ü\\)") (re-search-forward "\\[Ü\\]") (re-search-forward "\\[Ü\\|Ü\\]") all work as expected for me in this buffer (21.4.almost14 Mule build, IIRC RH is Mule too). YMMV, and I haven't tested more complex expressions. ETA (maybe even a patch) on a real fix in a followup (but it'll be in the C code, which won't be relevant to you for a while I guess, sorry again:-( ). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
