Enrico> Has the syntax of coding-system-alist functions been Enrico> changed in XEmacs or is code-files.el erroneous? Not recently, and no. GNU just has different internal APIs. It's just as likely that they changed the API when they incorporated Mule in 20.1 -- they did that in many, many places -- as that our version was changed when we did -- but as far as I can tell from ChangeLogs that would have happened in 1995. We try to keep APIs in synch with GNU, but we get no help from GNU, and they normally refuse requests from XEmacs developers to join their mailing lists. The Mule documentation is very incomplete. So we don't find out about these differences until someone reports them. I'll take a look at synching for 21.5, but this is unlikely to change in the 21.4 series. -- 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 straight lines for?
