BTW, I don't know if it's related, but I just filed bug #1187, which has to do with reading characters differently in Emacs 23 from Emacs 22. Maybe the two are related in some way. > > And how to change the buffers (e.g. line endings) so > > ediff-buffers will compare them correctly? > > "C-x RET f unix RET C-x C-s". But that would save the file with the new line endings. What if I don't want to do that? ediff-buffers should not require you to save a file differently or even to have a file associated with the buffer.
