You could also try:
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
It's a global option. The best to set GNU Emacs' behaviour in this
area is by environment variables like LANG or LC_CTYPE that name some
UTF-8 based encoding. I don't know how this is handled in MS Losedos.
From the Options menu choose Mule and then "Set Coding Systems" from
which "For Next Command" (C-x RET c) will allow you to set a
particular encoding system for reading the file.
