Hi, XEmacs build on W2K using MSVC 6.0 fails. The xemacs.mak file has an entry which prevents the build (-ZI flag for debug build). I had to change it to -Zi to make it build. with regards, dhruva D:\tmp\emacs\xemacs-21.5.9\nt [dky]nmake -f xemacs.mak Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.62.7022 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1997.
