RE: Editing exportet registry files

[gritsch@iue.tuwien.ac.at]

Thank you all very much for your help.  With the given information and the Emacs
ducumentation I have now added the following lines to my .emacs file, which
makes editing exportet registry files less painfull:

(setq file-coding-system-alist
      (append '(("\\.reg\\'" . utf-16le-with-signature))
              file-coding-system-alist))

Kind regards,
Markus
