I dunno whether anyone here know about Emacs, but I thought I would
ask.
In a previous setup (Windows XP, 32-bit), I believe that running the
Emacs function
(file-exists-p "c:/")
produced t.
Now, with the latest Cygwin, Windows 7, 64-bit, emacs-version
"23.3.1",
(file-exists-p "c:/")
nil
(file-exists-p "c:\\")
nil
I notice it because it broke some code, my .emacs startup file to be
precise. It was a quick and easy way to check whether it was running
under Windows.
I have a workaround,
(file-exists-p "/mnt/c")
but that only "works" because I "know" that I have changed the drive
prefix from /cygdrive to /mnt.
Can it be made to work again? Any suggestions on how to tell in Emacs
whether I'm running under Windows?
