problem with auctex and preview-latex under w9x

Hi David, AUC-TeX is running external processes using "command.com /c" or "cmd.exe /c" whatever the SHELL env. var is set to. But under w9x, command.com has a command line of limited length : 128 chars, which prevents preview-latex to run under w98 for example. If those programs were launched by themselves rather than by the command interpretor, the problem would vanish. I'm not sure this problem is specific to AUC-TeX, so I cc'ed the xemacs beta list. I wonder if we should bother at all about these old (and not supported anymore) windows version, but on the other hand, I see no point in running those programs through a command interpretor: why not running them directly ? -- Fabrice
