Sorry, I was talking about the code that was developed and is currently hosted by m17n, http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi/index.html > Is the m17n's Emacs code installed in the Emacs CVS repository? > If yes, is it in the trunk or in a branch? As far as I know the code developed by m17n is _not_ in Emacs' CVS repository (my info might be dated though). What Alex had commented on in his initial post, I believe, was with regard to m17n's code (his usage with ERC, etc) and my comments were to that end as well. m17n.org's additions are _very_ usable and accurate from a user's prospective and they (or similar :-) ought to get folded-in. As there has been a plethora of posts on this topic and there is movement in that direction, this post/opinion is non-consequential. Sorry for any possible confusion. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
