Yeah, that's what I thought, except the suck part is

1. Emacs 19.34 doesn't have char-before

2. Emacs 19.34 and 19.34.94 char-before and char-after take exactly
   one required argument

3. XEmacs 19 & 20 char-before and char-after take two optional
   arguments.

4. I have 73 occurances I have to change :-(

Okay, it's a workable problem, but it just blows.  ;-}
