I don't recall it ever working. If the I think it used to work, but that was in the early 19.x days. Don't think it was well tested even then. Ray

User init file not being loaded 27 years

David Bush

I am running Windows 95 and Cygwin 32 with coolview. I do not use password protection and I have not created a unix type passwd file. While poking into this I have found a couple of things. I have setup a USER environment variable in my cyqwin.bat file. 1. The variable init-file-user is set to the value of USER even though I have not invoked xemacs with a "-u" command line option. 2. If I evaluate (expand-file-name (concat "~" init-file-user "/")) I get /develop/xemacs-20/lisp/~dbush where the current buffer directory is /develop/xemacs-20/lisp and USER=dbush. If I (setq init-file-user "") and then evaluate (expand-file-name ...) again I get the value of HOME as expected. The question is where should this be fixed? The comments in fileio.c indicate that ~foo and ~ should be equivalent if foo is the curent user - at least in the Windows NT case. The other possibility is to modify the behavior of init-file-user so it is set only if the -u option is used. I've looked for other uses of init-file-user and don't see them, but I have only a limited set of packages installed. Please bear with these questins. I can figure out how to fix something technicaly, but it is harder to get a good sense on integrating with the ongoing development philosophy. david
