question on buffer-file-coding-system

Agreed. I think your strategy of defining a default of 'raw-text-unix if file coding is not compiled in is appropriate. It has the correct semantics. Note that this is exactly what we do for the specifier tags at the end of lisp/specifier.el. Anyway, we're moving in the direction of making file-coding (but not Mule, yet!) the default configuration. The main thing to do is to audit the code for (incorrect) checks for (boundp 'buffer-file-coding-system) and the like whose semantics is intended to be (featurep 'file-coding). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
