Hi, You guys do a great job. Thanks for all the hard work. I was blaming the .NET framework on this, but it appears to be an issue with Emacs. When I load a Unicode file (UTF-8) where some lines in CR/LF and some lines end in LF, in hexl-mode the CR/LF EOL's appear as CR/CR/LF and the LF EOL's appear as CR/LF. See this thread for more information: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/8ef5b69d-1 35d-4584-ae1a-1caeb4afc846/#page:1 If I save the file in hexl mode, it will save it with the extra CRs, thus modifying the file more than anticipated.
