Save the file. Then start emacs with -q, open the file. It doesn't interprete the file as a mac os classic file but instead display newline char as ^M. If i open the file in TextWrangler, TextEdit, Xcode, they open fine and indicate that mac os line ending are used. ----------------- given the current situation, how to instruct emacs (as a user) to open a file with CR as EOL?
