Can Nemacs and Mule share the same .emacs file?
Mule is not compatible with Nemacs. Sometimes a .emacs file made for Nemacs causes trouble when used for Mule. To share the same .emacs file, you have to divide it into two parts; one for Mule and the other for Nemacs: (if (boundp ‘MULE) (functions for Mule)) (if (boundp ‘NEMACS) (functions for Nemacs)) There is a sample shared .emacs file in the texinfo manual of Mule. It may help you. Note that some of the byte-compiled files are NOT sharable. Concerning about this point, Enami Tsugutomo <enami@sys.ptg.sony.co.jp< writes: You should prepare two different files for Mule and Nemacs if you want to byte-compile those files. As Mule and Nemacs adopt different internal representations of kanji characters, you must re-byte compile if the files include kanji characters.
