The directory for Emacs could be /usr/local/emacs-21.2. Then this directory contains subdirs bin, man, info, lib, share. The bin directory contains the programs. So, the Emacs executable would be /usr/local/emacs-21.2/bin/emacs. But you have a directory c:/bin (or /c/bin or whatever) which is named bin but does not contain programs. Instead, it contains a subdir emacs-21.2 which contains subsubdirs... So you could rename /c/bin to /c/sw or /c/local or /c/pkg or something, and then David wouldn't have been surprised. -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
