RE: Xemacs, Vista, and package install (ftp problem)

Thanks to all for the replies. Setting efs-ftp-program-name to the full Windows pathname for Vista's ftp command didn't seem to help. At one point I had package-install things working, but I can't remember what I did and it doesn't now. M-x ftp seems to work, though the ftp buffer mostly doesn't show responses from servers. To get gnus working I had to load an encryption package; ecrypto I think. I'll keep poking around trying to get the package-install to work. BTW I'm using .28 beta now.

If so, find out what ftp command is running and set efs-ftp-program-name to that program. I Alternatively, the 21.5 setup kit for windows includes gnus. You can download the latest version from http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5-b28-2 007-06-19.exe I have not tried the kit on Vista, but there have been reports that it works. Anothe alternative: there is an experimental XEmacs-21.5 cygwin setup kit. Run cygwin setup and look for the experimental XEmacs 21.5 package.
