There is no substantial difference between GNU 20.4 and 20.6 in this respect (21 will introduce some important changes). My quotation come from the "Coding systems" section of Emacs manual --- look at "International character support" chapter or search the info files for relevant phrases. The Elisp manual contains also useful information (IHMO, some of it would be better placed in the user manual). >(btw, where i can access the current CVS emacs version for testing?) It's not so simple, but you definitely will be welcomed as a pretester. Contact Gerd Moellmann for details. >(BTW, when a buffer is multibyte, C-x RET f binary RET is not supposed >to switch to unibyte mode, right? only opening a file with a binary >mode (C-x RET c binary RET C-x C-f filename RET) does this?)
