[I'm not an Emacs specialist (and/but) I am trying to
solve a problem with very little information to go
on. Maybe a net reader can help:]
We have an off-site SUN 3.4 GNU Emacs user (I'll have to
assume V18.53) who is having trouble SCCSing files after
editing. The last carriage-return (before EOF) is being
stripped off the file. Since SCCS expects certain
"on-a-line-by-itself" syntax, the SCCS command will bomb
with an 'co5: "premature eof"' error.
For example (note the last line in each case):
Normal SCCS file:
^Ah11717
<deleted>
Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.4 (SPICA) #2: Mon Jan 11 01:18:58 PST 1988<CR>
^AE 1
Problem files:
^Ah11717
<deleted>
Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.4 (SPICA) #2: Mon Jan 11 01:18:58 PST 1988^AE 1
Local users, using both VI and JOVE (along with the same
application software) have had no problems. M$QUESTION:
Since emacs normally doesn't exhibit this trait, it
sounds like "operator error". But where and/or what
should I be looking for? Any ideas?
