(sorry for the delay, I'm still diging out of the mountain of mail I got
while I was on vacation...)
I was working on fixing WNN at one point. I'll probably get it finished
here soon. As it stands, not only won't the C code compile, but the
elisp stuff is broken as well. And, as someone pointed out, WNN 6.0 is
the commercial version (which, oddly enough, SGI saw fit to license for
inclusion with the Japanese releases of IRIX...) The interfaces between
the two are different, but not vastly so, and the code in Mule 2.3 did
account for most of them. Now I just have to finish porting them.
