Attached you can find a file with two 8-bit characters I extracted from a file produced by Visual Studio under Windows. The characters should be u umlaut and the Euro sign. Emacs does not seem to be able to find the right coding system for it and displays it with raw-text-dos. I could not get the file displayed correctly by loading it with iso-latin-1, iso-latin-9, or cp1251. And I am not sure if this is a problem of Emacs or if Visual Studio simply produced garbage.
