Hi,
As far as I can see, there is no or little difference between the coding
systems:
emacs-mule
raw-text
no-conversion
binary
-- how can I see if any of them are simply aliases?
-- and would someone know the differences ?
I'm writing about i18n for some people who (regrettably ? -- Something
like Eclipse would have been so much easier) are using Emacs a lot.
Thanks
Soren

binary == no-conversion == raw-text-unix.
raw-text is almost the same except it does end-of-line conversion.
emacs-mule is completely different: reading a file with one of the other
3 encoding will only generate chars between 0 and 255, whereas with
emacs-mule you can get literally any char (it's an encoding loosely
comparable to iso-2022 or to utf-8).
emacs-mule should generally be avoided (it's the internal encoding used
inside Emacs buffers and can change between Emacs versions).
