That doesn't seem to have any effect (I'd already tried it, but I
tried it again to make sure). Are you saying that this works for you?
(I've yet to find anyone for whom it actually works under XEmacs 21).
Yes; however, I suspect that the problem lies elsewhere. Try this:
(push '("/.*" . binary) process-coding-system-alist)
If that works, the problem is that term-mode was having "DOS to Unix"
EOL conversion automatically performed on the output from the process
(which is usually what's desired, but not for a terminal emulator).
