You don't need another editor to do that. Just try to understand what emacs is doing here: when you added the line about the coding system emacs understood that you want the contents of the buffer saved with this coding system. Emacs can not know that the characters on screen are not what you want! So you first have to get to the point where Emacs has the correct notion about the coding system. Pascal alreadypointed you to `set-buffer-file-coding-system',
This was not useful because it does not change the meaning of the caracters in the buffer. It only changes the encoding of the characters when saving to file.
another way is to use `universal-coding-system-argument' (C-x RET c) immediately before opening a file.
...yes this was the right command to use... thanks, E.
