Thanks for your help with my Emacs problem. To repeat: The problem was
that it seemed that the "-*- coding: utf-8-dos; -*-" specification in
the first line of a file had no effect. After receiving your posts I
went back to the manual, and it turned out that the Emacs variable
inhibit-eol-conversion was set to a non nil value on my system. After
setting it to the value nil in my .gnu-emacs-custom file, the editing
of dos text files was possible.
Regards,
bostjanv
