Hi Sebastian,

This is the latest version, though we've made not a few changes
in the upstream (i.e., CVS).

The external w3m program you're using is also very new.

There seems to be no problem, furthermore you don't seem to need
to use w3m-ucs.el.  My only one worry is that the utf-8 coding
system which Emacs 21.x provides does support only Latin text.
If you have a need to read text in various languages (e.g.,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean), you indeed have to use Mule-UCS (it
is no longer necessary to use with Emacs 22, though).

To use it, put the following line in your ~/.emacs file.

(load "un-define")

(You have to install Mule-UCS in advance, of course.)

While I think you don't always need to use the w3m-ucs.el
module, You had better check your emacs-w3m installation.  If it
has been successful, the w3m-ucs.el module should be found in
the directory in which the w3m.el(c) module has been installed.
To know it, type M-x locate-library RET w3m RET.
