charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, emacs no longer works under windows 98 since emacs version 23.1. It worked with version 22.3. This problem has been already reported at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2009-09/msg00042.html The suggested solution doesn't seem to work. Note: If maintaining compatibility with outdated versions of windows is no longer relevant then the information provided at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/Introduction.html#Introduction should be revised. Anecdotal note: I took my chances by posing this problem at #emacs freenode irc channel. I was told that perhaps it was time to upgrade to windows Me. I ascertained that this guy didn't work for microsoft. It serves me right for trying to take a shortcut to posting to the mailing list.
