Could you clarify exactly what this means? Do you mean that "find-file" will understand "c:/dir/file" (or even "c:\dir\file") and do completion on it, and still allow the same behavior for Unix-like paths? If so, this will be very nice. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andypiper＠iname.com] Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 7:59 PM To: XEmacs Patches Cc: XEmacs Beta List; XEmacs NT List Subject: [21.4] Enable win32 filenames under cygwin DDE support under cygwin is only partially functional because the cygwin build doesn't understand win32 paths. This patch fixes it by selectively enabling the win32 filename support whilst preserving the cygwin (UNIX) semantic support. There is no new code here so I would like for this to go into 21.4 since it fixes an actual bug and I want the netinstaller to do DDE setup. andy 2001-09-08 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org&gt; * fileio.c (normalize_filename): copied from nt.c * (Ffile_name_directory): enable win32 paths under cygwin. * (Ffile_name_nondirectory): ditto. * (directory_file_name): ditto. * (Fexpand_file_name): ditto. * (Ffile_truename): ditto. * (Fsubstitute_in_file_name): ditto. * (Ffile_name_absolute_p): ditto. * (Ffile_readable_p): ditto.
