Yes, it handles file contents in exactly the way I like best, thanks.
In this thread, I'm concerned with how Emacs (specifically Dired)
handles filenames.
I'm trying to use Dired plus customizations as a replacement for
Midnight Commander (mc).
I've seen that Dired is not as robust as mc when confronted with arbitrary
filenames in {\001, \002, ..., \377}+, so I'm bugging bug.gnu.emacs with
reports about how dired-find-file and dired-do-shell-command fail when exposed
to all sorts of funny filenames. My latest findings are expressed in the
posting that starts with "Alas, " after the quoteblock.
It might well be that I'll continue to post reports of this sort until all
filenames the C library can handle are handled correctly by Dired too, unless
the Emacs developers vote that this is not a worthwhile goal to pursue.
