jackpot :)
Open a unix file, do replace-string from LF to CR. Save the file. Then
start emacs with -q, open the file. It doesn't interprete the file as
a mac os classic file but instead display newline char as ^M.
If i open the file in TextWrangler, TextEdit, Xcode, they open fine
and indicate that mac os line ending are used.
-----------------
given the current situation, how to instruct emacs (as a user) to open
a file with CR as EOL?
(am interested in this answer for my emacs tutorial)
