Good morning.

I am running DGJPP 2 on a Pentium running Windows 95, with a DPMI memory of
19507 KB.  The problem is that emacs crashes on startup, which apparently
was at least not a unique problem, according to the mail archives.  I don't
know if it even qualifies as much for a crash as for 'not starting at all'.
 No hanging, either, just a nice exit.  Out of frustration I resorted to
'emacs -nw', which complained a little about 'Cannot open load-file: case
table'.  This emacs runs like this:

<CL><CM>Cannot open load file: case-table<CM>Buffers Files Tools Edit
Search Help <CM>-----Emacs: *scratch*         (T:Lisp
Interaction)--L1--All---------------------

etc.  It does indeed run; it's just that everything is squished up on one
line, with various <CM><CE>codes occuring when you hit return or get into
the minibuffer.  Everything, including menus and status lines and text and
interaction runs together.  But it does run.  Better than trying to just
start emacs.

I thought that this was slightly amusing and might help find a
mistake/bug/etc.  Or at least make anyone else's morning a little less
dull.

My djgpp environment is the same, ever since I first downloaded dgjpp. 
Relavent portions of my autoexec.bat:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Perl\bin;C:\JDK1.1.5\BIN
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\smlnj\bin
set SMLNJ_HOME=C:\smlnj
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Djgpp\bin
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Djgpp\gnu\emacs\bin

If anyone can help, I will be grateful.  If not, I will simply go back to
vi, which takes up less space anyways.  
 
Have a nice day.
