newline vs CRLF

newline vs CRLF

[Steve Chard]

I work on a Linux box using XEMACS and a Win2K using EMACS 21.2. 
Whenever the Linux box opens a file (for example, a Perl script), it
puts a CRLF pair (carriage return/line feed hex 0D0A) in the place of
the normal single newline (hex 0A).  This is truly annoying.  How do I
stop this behavior.

If the file you vuisit existed before and had Unix-style single
newline characters at the end of each line, Emacs running on W2K
ought to preserve the end-of-line format.  If it doesn't, something
must be wrong with your customizations; try "emacs -q" and see if
that makes the problem go away.

If the problem is that you want new files you create on W2K to have
Unix-style end-of-line format, see the node "Text and Binary" in the
Emacs manual which describes the untranslated filesystem facility that
will help you.  For a single file, "C-x RET f unix RET C-x C-s" will
save the file in Unix EOL format.

 Look at this:
 
,----
| C-x RET c runs the command universal-coding-system-argument
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `international/mule-cmds'.
| (universal-coding-system-argument)
| 
| Execute an I/O command using the specified coding system.
`----

 When you press these keys, you should select coding system wich
 ending -dos.
 
 For example - koi8-r-dos if you on a Linux, or koi8-r-unix if you on
 a Windows.
