automatic language mode

automatic language mode

[c. kumar]

hello:
When I open up my c-code in emacs it used to automaticlaly open it in
c-mode. Under the latest cygwin/X11 for some reason it opens it fundamental
mode and I have been manually setting it c-mode.

How can change this behavior?

Thanx

The varibale auto-mode-alist contains regexp/mode pairs.  Emacs looks
there to decide which mode to use.

What does C-h v auto-mode-alist RET say on your system?

This behavior happens only when I fire up emacs under /cygwin/X11.
I have also native binaries of emacs installed. If I fire that up it
automatically recognizes the c-code and sets the mode appropriately.

Maybe there is a case-sensitivity problem with Emacs/Cygwin?

Maybe auto-mode-alist contains entries for *.c files but your file is
named *.C...

I ran the auto-mode-alist in both windows native emacs version and the X11
version and compared them. There was no difference!
Also I use lower case .c in my files.
Thanx for the pointer any way
