I agree on this point. Actually, if a coding system doesn't specify an eol-format (e.g. nil, iso-latin-1, raw-text), the latest CVS version encodes EOL according to system_eol_type (i.e. on Windows, CRLF). --- Kenichi Handa [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
