That's a good method if you like to get into trouble.

For those who prefer to do things right, then you can C-x RET f mac RET
and then C-x C-s, or alternatively just click twice on the ":" in the
left part of the mode line (the first time makes it change from unix to
dos, the second from dos to mac).
