RE: How to overwrite completely a buffer with a file, with overwriting also the coding system ?

[Vincent Belaïche]

I have a version 23.xxx Emacs, and I do get the message about the coding that disagree with the buffer.
I will try what you propose in this message and the next one and let you know if this solves the issue.

Thanks for the information !!

Now I want that the file be created with iso-latin-1-unix coding. Even though the template file contains a -*- coding: iso-latin-1-unix -*- the target file is created with dos end-of-lines.
