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
