Since such a patch would prevent file corruptions from happening it's worth all effort. IIRC, the reason not to install the unification feature was: "it isn't tested enough". Of course, this argument isn't valid since we need a solution for a known problem -- users already suffering too long. Without the unification feature I cannot recommend Emacs 21.x to european users having to deal with latin1 and latin9 encodings. At the moment, they are better served using Emacs from the CVS trunk. Thanks for considering the issue and for your answer! -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
