Re: find-file-binary
Charles G Waldman <cgw(a)pgt.com> writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org:
Currently, "hexl-find-file" does not work on WinNT.
"hexl.el" contains the following:
(defun hexl-find-file (filename)
"Edit file FILENAME in hexl-mode.
Switch to a buffer visiting file FILENAME, creating one in none exists."
(interactive "fFilename: ")
(if (or (eq system-type 'ms-dos) (eq system-type 'windows-nt))
(find-file-binary filename)
(find-file filename))
(if (not (eq major-mode 'hexl-mode))
(hexl-mode)))
However, the function "find-file-binary", AFAICT, is not
defined
anywhere - not in any of the package lisp, or the XEmacs base source,
which I have been furiously grepping through for the last half-hour.
Of course, I'm probably overlooking something obvious. Where is
this
function supposed to be defined?
This isn't going to work right in Unix either. Drop the conditional,
and wrap the `find-file' call with something like:
(let ((buffer-file-coding-system 'binary))
(find-file filename))
Does that work a bit better?
