Kenichi, Glad to hear that CR support is still there. Indeed, I've played with it a bit more, and it seems that trivial examples do work. I can't figure out what algorithm Emacs is using to guess the kind of text file. So anyway, I've attached a tarball containing two files: * ozymandias.txt: This a trivial example which does work. It was created in BBEdit 4.5. * SqueakV1-18.sources: This is the file that triggered my complaint. Emacs 21 correctly identified this as a Mac file. In Emacs v23.1.50.1, I see one long line with a bunch of ^M characters. --Leif Kenichi Handa wrote: > In article <4AFE0A0E.4050709@geodynamics.org>, Leif Strand writes: > >> Why is it that my new version of Emacs (v23.1.50.1) no longer >> understands Mac-format (CR) text files?
