I put the line as my first file line. The symptoms are unchanged.

I also included (prefer-coding-system   'iso-latin-2-unix) in my .emacs (before I had cp1250).
So charsets are now as if I didn't do any changes.

character listing after writing and reading from a disc:

  character: š (01210241, 331937, 0x510a1)
    charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff (Unicode characters of the range U+0100..U+24FF.)
 code point: 33 33
     syntax: word
   category: l:Latin  
buffer code: 0x9C 0xF4 0xA1 0xA1
  file code: B9 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-2-unix)
       font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-80-iso10646-1


Thank you, any hints appreciated.
