I am running DGJPP 2 on a Pentium running Windows 95, with a DPMI memory of 19507 KB. The problem is that emacs crashes on startup, which apparently was at least not a unique problem, according to the mail archives. I don't know if it even qualifies as much for a crash as for 'not starting at all'. No hanging, either, just a nice exit. Out of frustration I resorted to 'emacs -nw', which complained a little about 'Cannot open load-file: case table'. This emacs runs like this: Cannot open load file: case-tableBuffers Files Tools Edit Search Help -----Emacs: *scratch* (T:Lisp Interaction)--L1--All--------------------- etc. It does indeed run; it's just that everything is squished up on one line, with various codes occuring when you hit return or get into the minibuffer. Everything, including menus and status lines and text and interaction runs together. But it does run. Better than trying to just start emacs. I thought that this was slightly amusing and might help find a mistake/bug/etc. Or at least make anyone else's morning a little less dull. My djgpp environment is the same, ever since I first downloaded dgjpp. Relavent portions of my autoexec.bat: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Perl\bin;C:\JDK1.1.5\BIN set PATH=%PATH%;C:\smlnj\bin set SMLNJ_HOME=C:\smlnj set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Djgpp\bin set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Djgpp\gnu\emacs\bin If anyone can help, I will be grateful. If not, I will simply go back to vi, which takes up less space anyways. Have a nice day. AL
