Hello, I am having problem building XEmacs beta on W2K using MSVC 6.0. The following is the trace report. I also have a problem in the xemacs.mak file. It gives me an error when "＠type" is used. I fixed that by using "＠cat". But, there is an issue with "type" (command to display contents of a file in MS promt). with regards, dhruva E:\emacs\xemacs-21.5.16\nt [dky]nmake /f xemacs.mak Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as the XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently, the file `Installation' in the top of the build tree). If you are fortunate enough to have some sort of debugging aid installed on your system, for example Visual C++, and you can get a C stack backtrace, *please* include it, as it will make our life far easier.
