- Hi,
-
- As the subject header says: How does lemacs determine what mode to use?
-
- I would like lemacs to go into Fortran mode for files ending on .F,
- into Fortran 90 mode for files ending in .f90 and into Perl mode
- for files ending in .prl. I can't figure out how Emacs decides which
- mode to use though.
-
- I have another problem with the fortran mode: some compilers still
- want fixed format, but allow tabs to start the lines (so far so good,
- as the fortan mode switches to TAB mode automatically). Many of them
- do not accept a tab followed by a number as a continuation line, which
- is the way the fortran-TAB mode does continuation lines. So how can I
- persuade the Fortran mode to use TAB mode, but an & in column 6 for
- continuation lines?
-
- I'm running lemacs-19.6 on a DEC station 5000/240. (Which shouldn't make
- a difference -- I'm just happy I managed to get it compiled so easily!)
-
- Thanks,
-
- Adriaan
