My background is unix/linux so when I find myself on MS OS of one vintage or another I sorely need the cygwin tools.
However, one thing I've not found a way to get smoothed out is how to run emacs. I want to run emacs in gui mode but without starting an X session. That is, similar to what is possible with ntemacs. Now I could just use ntemacs but then one runs into path problems since that tool doesn't know about `cygdrive', and I see no handy way to make that work with both cygwin setup and win native stuff. Using the cygwin installed emacs I get the -nw effect as if emacs were running in a linux console, unless I start an X session and run emacs from there. Is there a handy way (on winxp) to use emacs as if in X but without installing or using the X side of cygwin? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
