Start here: > > http://www.msys2.org/ The splash page says "x86_64-w64-mingw32", so I imagine it's 64-bit. Alas, I'm skeptical management will go for installing any more developer tools, certainly not so a single, cranky software engineer can try to work around problems with Emacs' interaction between Linux and Windows. Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll call WinEmacs, "nice, but not sufficient" for now, and push harder to get a Linux desktop. S
