This sounds a bit off-topic for this list since it's clearly a hardware issue. While it's possible that Cygwin's XEmacs works your processor more than other programs you're using, the fact that it may cause your machine to get overly hot is a factor of the hardware, not the software. If this is really a concern for you, you'll want to contact your hardware manufacturer to see if they can help get your machine to run cooler. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
