Thank you for the packages. I have started to use "emacs-w32-24.5-3", I like the new features and I have not encountered obvious bugs. A shortcoming of the new version "GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2016-01-23 on moufang" compared to a mingw version "GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.2.9200) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN", which I also use, is that file-name completion does not work for find-file if a windows-style directory path is used. - Daniel -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
