30 Notice that this package does not contain MIME extender for any
31 MUAs. They are released as separated packages.
37 SEMI supports XEmacs 20.2 or later with mule, and Emacs 20.
39 SEMI does not support anything older than Emacs 19.28 or XEmacs
40 19.14. SEMI also does not support Emacs 19.29 to 19.34, XEmacs
41 19.15 or XEmacs 20.2 without mule, but SEMI may work with them.
43 SEMI also does not support Emacs 19.29 to 19.34, XEmacs 19.15 or
44 XEmacs 20.2, but SEMI may work with them.
46 SEMI requires APEL (9.22 or later) and FLIM (1.14.2 or later)
47 package. Please install them before installing it. APEL package is
50 ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
52 and FLIM package is available at:
54 http://www.kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~tomo/comp/emacsen/lisp/
61 (a) run in expanded place
63 If you don't want to install other directories, please do only
68 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
72 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
76 If you want to install other directories, please do following:
80 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
82 % make install EMACS=xemacs
84 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
86 You can specify the prefix of the directory tree for Emacs Lisp
87 programs and shell scripts, for example:
89 % make install PREFIX=~/
91 If `PREFIX=...' is omitted, the prefix of the directory tree of the
92 specified emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local).
94 For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and EMACS 19.34 is specified, it
95 will create the following directory tree:
97 /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/ --- emu
98 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/apel/ --- APEL
99 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/flim/ --- FLIM
100 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/semi/ --- SEMI
102 You can specify site-lisp directory, for example
104 % make install LISPDIR=~/share/emacs/lisp
106 If `LISPDIR=...' is omitted, site-lisp directory of the specified
107 emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp or
108 /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp).
110 If the emu modules (included in APEL package) have been installed in
111 the non-standard directory, you should specify where they will be
114 % make install VERSION_SPECIFIC_LISPDIR=~/elisp
116 (c) install as a XEmacs package
118 If you want to install to XEmacs package directory, please do
121 % make install-package
123 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
125 % make install-package XEMACS=xemacs-21
127 If `XEMACS=...' is omitted, XEMACS=xemacs is used.
129 You can specify the package directory, for example:
131 % make install PACKAGEDIR=~/.xemacs
133 If `PACKAGEDIR=...' is omitted, the first existing package
136 Notice that XEmacs package system requires XEmacs 21.0 or later.
140 You can specify other optional settings by editing the file
141 ${archive}/SEMI-CFG. Please read ${archive}/README.en and comments
142 in ${archive}/SEMI-CFG.
150 If you are using Emacs or Mule, please add directory of emu, apel,
151 flim and semi to load-path. If you install by default setting, you
152 can write subdirs.el for example:
154 --------------------------------------------------------------------
155 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
156 '("apel" "flim" "semi"))
157 --------------------------------------------------------------------
159 If you are using XEmacs, there are no need of setting about
164 Please insert the following into your ~/.emacs:

189 Via the EMACS-MIME ML, you can report SEMI bugs, obtain the latest
190 release of SEMI, and discuss future enhancements to SEMI. To join
191 the EMACS-MIME ML, send an e-mail to

202 Notice that you should not send mail to author(s), such as
203 morioka@jaist.ac.jp, directly. Because your problem may occur in
204 other environments (if not, it might be your problem, not bug of
205 SEMI). We should discuss in the EMACS-MIME mailing lists. Anyway
206 direct-mail for authors might be ignored. Please send mail to the
