I don't want to get into a "my-emacs-is-better" flamewar -- both NTEmacs and XEmacs are great packages. However, I do want to clear up a misunderstanding: Despite the name "XEmacs", the packages built for windows and for cygwin do NOT require an Xserver. In fact, they don't contain the X code at all. (You *can* build an X-based XEmacs for cygwin, but the official package is not built that way). --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
