How do I specify unix as the default coding system for new files? I'm
running emacs 21 under cygwin, and I want new files to be created
unix-mode, not dos-mode. I can't figure out how to change the variable
though.

hi,
i didn't do this before myself. i just found the variables
auto-coding-regexp-alist and auto-coding-alist by
M-x apropos-variable RET -coding- RET

Thanks, but I'm not sure those have anything to do with what I want.
They seem to be ways to specify the coding system to use when reading
existing files; I want to specify the coding system for new files.

Is that an Emacs compiled as a Cygwin application? If so, I'd expect
it to do what you want by default.
If Emacs is compiled with MinGW or MSVC, then please read about the
untranslated-filesystem feature in the node "Text and Binary" of the
Emacs manual.

default-buffer-file-coding-system seems to be the right variable.
Its documentation points to buffer-file-coding-system which states
that the value is used for writing.

It's "GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-msvc-windows98.2222)" by the splash screen.
I also have the cygwin emacs, but it looks like it would take quite a
bit of configuration to get the keyboard and mouse and so on working
right, so I'd prefer to stick with the MSVC version.
Anyway, putting (add-untranslated-filesystem "C:") in my .emacs seems to
solve the problem. Thanks!
