Re: term.el doesn't work

Glynn Clements was inspired to write:
Yes; however, I suspect that the problem lies elsewhere. Try this:
(push '("/.*" . binary) process-coding-system-alist)
That did it. Brilliant!
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).
So how come XEmacs seems to come set up like this by default?
Presumably because the above setting is what you want in, for example,
M-x shell? Presumably what's needed is to set the above locally in the
term hook or something? In any case, some fix ought to be added to
term.el (or wherever is appropriate) so that it works out of the box,
surely? I for one would not have guessed that fix in a million years;
for one, because I thought that the reason my line endings were fixed
automatically in shell mode was by lines like
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-strip-ctrl-m)
(add-hook 'shell-output-filter-functions 'shell-strip-ctrl-m)
in my .xemacs/init.el. However, now it seems as though these are
redundant...
Although you have now solved my problem, I'm still keen to pursue the
general solution, so that term.el works for everyone, without stopping
other things from working.
