Re: Configuring Meadow to display shift-jis encoded files

["Michael O'Leary" <moleary@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried running M-x set-language-environment japanese (which I would guess
is a good thing to do in any case) but it did not change the way my Meadow
installation displays shift-jis characters. When I open a file containing
shift-jis characters, the mode line has '-(Mac)--' at the left edge. What
does this mean? Thanks.

If its like emacs-21 you will need to M-x set-language-environment
japanese to recognize SJIS files I think.
