In the special case of cmd.exe and cmdproxy, we know positively what is the encoding, so this important case can be resolved without any harm. As for Cygwin programs, I always thought they support only the C locale. Was I mistaken? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
