    That's NOT what I saied.  I said "use emacs-mule".  The
    other coding systems are affected by
    unify-8859-on-decoding-mode, and also by users setting of
    standard-translation-table-for-decode.

Ok, I stand corrected.

However, people have pointed out that there are practical drawbacks
to using emacs-mule, and that iso-2022 is more convenient.
Let's see if we can arrange for iso-2022 to work properly.
