I'll take a look to my e-mail records ASAP, but speaking from memory, I seem to remember the issue was in fact a problem with COMMAND.COM. Emacs, I was told, should be compilable and, if posible, bootstrappable from a W9X/Me system (even if the number of Windows users who're going to compile, not to mention bootstrap, Emacs on W9X/Me is vanishingly small). In any case, if I did test it, most probably it was *not* with Cygwin tools. But I no longer have a W9X/Me platform at hand to test Emacs, so I cannot offer any help. Anyway, Jason is right: IIRC, the patch was not actively turned down, time just ran off. Juanma
