Thank you for your reply. I am using Emacs 20.7 on Windows/NT 4.0.
Using Emacs on Solaris, it works fine. I can specify latin-1-dos for
a new file in file-coding-system-alist, and when it gets written out,
the mode line changes to read "(DOS)" and get get ^M's in the file.
Lovely. (Sort of.)
But the specific case I want--Emacs on NT, new file on Unix file
system via Samba--doesn't work.
I have this in my .emacs file:
(set-language-environment "latin-1")
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\`[Uu]:" 'latin-1-unix)
This does cause existing files to be latin-1-unix, even if they
have DOS-style ^M's at the end of each line. I'm not convinced that
is a feature, which is why I ask for a way to specify coding system
separately for new and existing files.
