Yes, I know that. But this has nothing to do with the text in the MS-DOS appendix of the manual: that text describes codepage.el which is only used in the MS-DOS port. GNU/Linux uses code-pages.el, which is a different (and slightly incompatible) implementation of the same functionality. > I.e. if Gnus displays an > article with charset=window-12xx, all characters are displayed > correctly.

But etc/NEWS says "`codepage-setup' is now > obsolete". What is the correct way to setup cpNNN? See code-pages.el. I don't know the answer for that, perhaps the code will tell you. IIRC, `codepage-setup' was declared obsolete because the need to do something in order for a coding system to become available was deemed a bad idea. But I don't remember the details, nor what would be the Right Way. The birth of code-pages.el was accompanied by heated discussions, so some issues were lost in the dispute and never resolved. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
