Taking the context of the particular example we have into account I wouldn't be surprised. All the AUCTeX files have Unix-style line endings. So I would not be surprised if a file created during the setup process had such line endings as well. In the end, LANG=C doesn't really have a meaning under Windows, does it? -- Ralf _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
