The cygwin version is up to date with respect to both 21.4.17 (flagged as stable in cygwin's setup.exe) and 21.5.23 (flagged as test version in cygwin's setup.exe) See the release announcements at o http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2005-11/msg00014.html o http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2005-11/msg00015.html Both versions can be used in an X environment (when the DISPLAY variable is set) or as W32 versions when the DISPLAY variable is unset. Check the documentation under /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/xemacs-21.X.XX.README.
