Xemacs won't run

2000-12-30 Thread Cameron Matheson
Hey,   For some reason Xemacs won't run.  It used to, but for some (unkown) reason it has stopped.  When I try to run the mule binary (or any other binary for that matter), it runs my hard-drive for a second, and then nothing happens.  Any one know what the problem could be?   Thanks, Camero
