Just try:

Create a file.
1) Launch emacs, save and quit.
2) Launch emacs, don't save, and quit.

will just tell you "no change need to be saved" and quit, in the
second, it'll quit. Try deleting the file in the meantime, it won't
change the behavior.

Now, what would you do about this? Ignore Emacs and force people to
use vi?

People have been spending a whole thread to explain you that it's not
going to work. I think it'll either be time to acknowledge that, or to
learn C and write a patch. Or perhaps try to write it in Java to
understand why it doesn't work.
