Examples of the same file loaded into Emacs:

1:
------------------


RemP, 2413 tkn
OrtP, 6534 tkn
-------<snip>------

2:
---------------------



emP, 2413 tkn
OrtP, 6534 tkn
-----<snip>--

The file starts with two newlines, so the picture given by 1 is correct.
But what causes the file to look like example 2 in Emacs? Sometimes.
(spent time debugging the program producing the file until I realized
it was Emacs joking ... ;-)


My second question.
Is there an easy way of switching Emacs from Text mode
to Binary mode ?
(If for instance you want to save a region from a file Emacs
consider as text although it isn't.   OK, you could always
rename the file as foo.exe and reload it into Emacs, but ...)

I'm using a rather old version
GNU Emacs 19.34 (i386-unknown-ms-os)

Thanks,
Gunno
