I perused all the "obvious" things, and could not find anything in the configuration that can be traced to be the 'culprit'. The bug manifest the following way: One starts Emacs (it is started w/the PIF file from the distribution, BTW); after the initial screen appears, keying C-x C-c (to exit) blanks the screen and freezes the machine, requiring a cold restart. This is the minimum set of commands that produce reproducible results. One another (albeit more stochastic) way, is just to start Emacs and keep editing, soon or alter the same occurs! Output of go32 at the DOS box is as follows: C:\WORK>go32-v2 go32/v2 version 2.0 built Jan 23 1996 22:03:02 Usage: go32 coff-image [args] Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as well as v1 binaries (old makefiles). Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH. DPMI memory available: 13044 Kb DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb I think this is related, so just in case, notice that if I run say GCC, the outcome from go32 changes to: C:\WORK>gcc gcc.exe: No input files C:\WORK>go32-v2 go32/v2 version 2.0 built Jan 23 1996 22:03:02 Usage: go32 coff-image [args] Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as well as v1 binaries (old makefiles). Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH. DPMI memory available: 704 Kb DPMI swap space available: 11880 Kb As a last clue, some usual test programs like the GRX 2.0, bcc2grx, even all from the GNAT suite compile and run from the DOS box w/o trouble. The Emacs binaries that cause this run flawlessly in other six machines of various configurations. All suggestions are wellcome! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cesar Scarpini Rabak E-mail: csrabak AT ipt DOT br DME/ASC Phone: 55-11-268-35221Ext.350 IPT - Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas Fax: 55-11-268-5996 Av.
