I use XEmacs 21.2.34 on Cygwin 1.1.2 / WinNT every day.  Dired
definitely does work, and there are no real problems with creating
subprocesses.  As noted in my previous message, the latest stable
*and* beta versions of XEmacs compile out of the box.

Make sure you download a SUMO tarball of all the unbundled packages
(of which Dired is one), and set your EMACSPACKAGEPATH correctly.

Forget that, just use XEmacs :-)
