Furthermore you cant create subprocesses from > Xemacs under cygwin (I think). Another limitation. I use XEmacs 21.2.34 on Cygwin 1.1.2 / WinNT every day. Dired definitely does work, and there are no real problems with creating subprocesses. As noted in my previous message, the latest stable *and* beta versions of XEmacs compile out of the box. Make sure you download a SUMO tarball of all the unbundled packages (of which Dired is one), and set your EMACSPACKAGEPATH correctly. > I am slaving through trying to port GNU Emacs as I write.
