What, if anything, needs to be done to build a version with this support? Is this documented somewhere? Is it on the mainline or on a branch? If on a branch, how often is it synchronized with the work done on the mainline? Currently I'm using Otfried Cheong's extensions to Mule-UCS under 20.7.2, which works well, but if there is "official" support now I'd rather use that (I believe his code doesn't work under 21.x, for example). Thanks, and apologies if this should have been posted somewhere else. -tree -- Tom Emerson Basis Technology Corp.
