I found one workaround for this: In the file association, turn off the DDE association. I don't do windows, so all of this has been quick guess work. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Ray

Ah, that's an interesting challenge! I had been looking for a reason to study redisplay anyway. I'm pretty sure what causes the problems but have not figured out a clean way to fix it, yet. I'll describe what I have found, maybe this helps some (if not or this was totally obvious to the redisplay gurus out there then just ignore this post): In the following discussion I use Collin's original procedure: - XEmacs -vanilla - move to the apostrophe in don't (pos=36) - C-Space M-> C-x nn - answer the novice-warning with y - C-x nw - now the display is wrong (if you want the crash type C-l) First of all the problem occurs in 20.4 as well, but doesn't produce a crash (see below). The real problem is redisplay's failure to display the buffer correctly after widening (I mean the 'implicit' redisplay not the one triggered by C-l). After narrowing the startp marker/variable points to position 36 (which is right) but after widening it still points at 36 although bufbegv now is 1. Now startp doesn't point at the right place (the beginning of the first line) anymore and only the second half of the line is displayed (probably the line start cache is also wrong at this point). XEmacs 20.4 doesn't crash because a more complete update of the frame is forced (SET_FRAME_CLEAR;) at the beginning of Frecenter (which Hrvoje removed for 21.0). This isn't done in the (Lisp-)recenter of 21.0. I haven't bothered checking how the crash actually happens -- if we can fix the first redisplay everything should be OK. The right fix should in my opinion be done in widen_buffer (and maybe plus some change in the redisplay code). Here we have to either adjust the start-marker or make redisplay do that later on. If I manually set the marker to 1 during the 'implicit' redisplay, everything works... Probably I'll look into this some more over the weekend, but if somebody sees the light already, go ahead send a patch. Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Note that this patch is reversed. HAVE_MS_WINDOWS indicates support for the win32 GUI. You shuld be conditioning this stuff on __CYGWIN32__ and !WINDOWSNT I think because it's the wrong thing for the native mswindows build. This seems wrong for the cygwin build for the reason that Darryl Okahata gives in xemacs-beta; converting c:\foo into /c/foo is no good, it should be converted to //c/foo.

Re: strange regexp in postscript-mode 25 years, 8 months

The first one matches anything that starts with a paren, and then things up to another paren including \. escapes and \ line continuations. The second expression doesn't handle escapes or line continues... but perhaps that's not really required anyhow. I've not learned much postscript yet. :-)

With this patch, gnuclient recognizes the > paths of the form "<drive>:\path" and converts it to "/<drive>/path". Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't see how this is going to work. While gnuclient does have problems with DOS absolute paths and path separators (this part of your patch is good), I don't see how changing (for example), "c:/foo" into "/c/foo" is going to work; with this, gnuclient is going to look for file "foo" in directory "/c" of the current drive, and not in "c:/". [ The cygwin gnuclient may need a similar change ("c:/" --> "//c/"), but note that cygwin needs TWO (2) leading slashes; one slash won't work. ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo(a)sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

If somebody can fix it in the very near future, the fix will go into 21.0, otherwise it won't. The fate of whether I can get an XEmacs 21 out this month will be determined tomorrow morning US/Pacific time, I'll pass on news as soon as I know.
