Well, finally managed to get around to building XEmacs on NT. Build
was native windows with XPM support. Simple file editing seems fine,
so far. M-x shell gives me a usable DOS shell with a couple of minor
glitches; communication with the shell seems a little prone to lossage
at times.
An attempt at SMTP mail was a complete non-starter; looked like a
zero-page "read". Completely reproducible, too. Unfortunately, the
debugger refused to start from the "cancel". I'll be making an attempt
to run xemacs from devstudio to provoke that way.
Does the NT build with MULE by default?
ClearCase support is a non-starter so far. vc-cc attempts to run
"/usr/atria/bin/cleartool"; after I'd patched this to
`(substitute-in-file-name "$ATRIA_HOME/bin/cleartool.exe")' cleartool
refused to start (jammed on "starting cleartool..."). This may be
something to do with my flaky process communications, I suppose. I
may, time permitting, have a go at fixing this up 'cos it'd be rather
handy.
Cheers,
