;;; Description:
;;;
;;; This package does two things:
;;;
;;; If a file being read into a buffer has the ^M character at the end of each
;;; line then these extra characters are discarded from the file's buffer.
;;; The trailing ^Z, if present, is discarded too.  The buffer is now put into
;;; the dos-mode minor-mode.
;;;
;;; Secondly, when a buffer in dos-mode is being written out, the ^M and
;;; optional ^Z characters are replaced before the write happens.
;;;
;;; dos-mode can be toggled for a buffer with M-x dos-mode.
 
;;; Installation:
;;;
;;; Byte-compile dos-mode.el to dos-mode.elc and put them both in a directory
;;; on your load-path.  Load the package from your .emacs file with:
;;;
;;;   (require 'dos-mode)
;;;
;;; dos-mode can't sensibly be auto-loaded; you are either using it, or you
;;; aren't.
