Hi,
if i try to save a file with coding-system utf-16-le, i keep getting the
message
symbol's function definition is void: utf16-le-pre-write-conversation
With tuf-16-be, i get the corresponding message:
symbol's function definition is void: utf16- be-pre-write-conversation
On the other hand utf-8 works fine.
M-x emacs-version gives:
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.2222) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO
As far as i can see, this is the current binary package available for win32.
I would be grateful for any hint.
Thanks in advance
Dirk

Add the following to your .emacs file:
;; Detect endianness of UTF-16 containing a Byte Order Mark U+FEFF
(add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFF\xFE" . utf-16-le) t)
(add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFE\xFF" . utf-16-be) t)
;; Add missing support functions
(defun utf-16-le-pre-write-conversion (start end) nil)
(defun utf-16-be-pre-write-conversion (start end) nil)

Thank you Andy!
Your code works fine. I'm feeling not so smart... should have done this
by myself. But the question remains: why are this support functions
missing from the standard distribution?
Regards
Dirk
