Dear Bug Team!
According to XEmacs Info file, node `Recognize Coding', one can
specify the coding system of a file with the pseudo-variable `coding'.
There it is also told that this variable can be specified at the top
of a file (in `-*-...-*-') or a local variables list at the end.
The former works, the latter doesn't.
I attach two files that I used at test files. Visiting them should go
into utf-8, but that does only work with coding-var-top.txt.
Cheers,
Joachim
