Over the weeks since installing v19.15p7 I've pepper (bothered?) the xemacs group with questions on getting the suite to work in viper-mode. Yesterday I posted a follow-up that the FreeBSD port was broken. There are separate builds for various Unixes: SunOS, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, &c, so it's possible that the configuration for FBSD is the source of the problem. From my mail, it was clear that viper works for Sun and Linux at least. I don't understand the official position on 20.2 either. It has the MULE (internationalization) support as the default and is huge. It may be that the 19.X version lacks MULE and 20.X has it. gary > -- Gary D.
