SHELL. Today I discovered the NT port of emacs uses "SHELL" if set, so it ends up getting its shell set to /usr/bin/zsh. Emacs looks for c:\usr\bin\zsh.exe, but it is really c:\cygwin\usr\bin\zsh.exe. The solution was to clear the SHELL env var, since I didn't want emacs using my cygwin shell. HOME is also probably a good idea to convert into DOS form. -- 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/
