David> What is the difference between the xemacs package installer David> in Cygwin and the Cgywin/Xemacs installer I can download David> from xemacs.org? You'll have to ask Cygwin about that. As far as I know they lag stable releases by at most a couple of weeks. I haven't heard any recent complaints about the configuration they distribute, although about a year ago there was a complaint that it was X11 only (ie, you had to install an X server). I believe that was resolved by configurating the Cygwin release for both X11 and Windows displays. (Again, asking Cygwin is the way to be sure.) To the best of my knowledge the XEmacs Cygwin installer is not up to date with XEmacs (it is advertised as 21.4.13, volunteers to pick up the slack welcome), and depending on exactly what the state of your Cygwin installation is, it may not be compatible with your Cygwin, either. (The cost of keeping up with Cygwin is one of the reasons why we don't do it.) For third-party distributions, I strongly recommend that you either use their distribution of XEmacs, or build your own. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
