I am sorry, I do not enough about XEmacs to answer this question.
The only thing I know is that in recent years, Kyle simply announced
new releases of VM in the newsgroup gnu.emacs.vm.info. There are
several sites where you can download VM tar balls, see

Good point. I never thought about reading source code with
view-mode. But apparently different people have different tastes.
Before I started this thread I tested the variable
show-nonbreak-escape. However, it didn't do anything for me. (I
always got the octale sequence `\240'.) Now that you solved the
latter, show-nonbreak-escape works for me, too.
