Here's what the manual says about it: In contrast, the coding system `no-conversion' specifies no character code conversion at all--none for non-ASCII byte values and none for end of line. This is useful for reading or writing binary files, tar files, and other files that must be examined verbatim. It, too, sets `enable-multibyte-characters' to `nil'. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >It might solve the problem. I think it should.
