EOL question

EOL question

[Michael Powe]

hello,

is there a way for me to have NTemacs always write files in unix
format?  i've read the manual but i don't seem to see anything that
creates this behavior.  when i create files on nt, i don't want to
have to strip the carriage returns when i move the files onto linux.  

thanks.

mp

Try

  (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "" 'unix)

More info with

C-h C RET

C-h v file-coding-system-alist RET

C-h i d m emacs RET i file-coding-system-alist RET

In the Emacs manual, go to the node "Text and Binary", and read the
descriprion of the "untranslated filesystem" feature.  It allows you
to control the EOL convention used for files created by Emacs on a
filesystem by filesystem basis.

I don't recommend this solution.  Not only does it disable _all_
conversions, not just EOL conversions, for files whose encodings are
known in advance, but it will also break whenever coding-systems alist
is modified by some package or the user in their ~/.emacs.

Don't do that.

See my other mail in this thread for the solution recommended by the
Emacs manual.
