7252
7253 This is part 8 of the XEmacs Frequently Asked Questions list. It will
7254 occasionally be updated to reflect new information about versions which
7255 are no longer being revised by the XEmacs Project. The primary purpose
7256 is advice on compatibility of older XEmacsen with new packages and
7257 updated versions of packages, but bug fixes (which will not be applied
7258 to released XEmacsen, but users can apply themselves) are also accepted.

7276 After a bit of sleuthing, I discovered the essence of the problem.
7277 For me, the form:
7278
7279 @lisp
7280 (with-temp-buffer
7281 (insert-file-contents "foo.xpm")
7282 (buffer-string))
7283 @end lisp
7284
7285 returns the empty string. This is because something somewhere
7286 replaces the XPM data with a glyph --- I haven't figured out where
7287 this occurs.

7293 Do this:

7295 @lisp
7296 (setq format-alist nil)
7297 @end lisp
7298
7299 The image-mode stuff is gone from format-alist in the 21.4
7300 branch, praise be.
