It will hang comparing any files. Even comparing the same file such as
the
readme.1st file in djgpp/.
The tmp dirs exist.
Emacs hangs when the diff is complete I think.
The dos window heading says:
MS-DOS Prompt - EMACS
The bottom of the emacs says:
Processing difference regions ... done
Then it just sits there with the cursor on the question mark.
Then I try to type 'j' or 'n' but it's frozen...
The diff file info is:
diff.exe 134,656 10-19-96 11:27a
