Subject: emacs on windows
Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2008 18:23:12 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc7735fb-65f3-4952-9954-4b7999c4b511@d70g2000hsb.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I am an old emacs-on-linux dog who has difficulty using windows.  For
various reasons I need to program in windows.

Some egs. of my problems

-- M-x shell shows all kinds of control characters
-- Paths are /-separated some places and \-separated others

and so on and so forth.

So some questions:
1. Is there some help/wiki etc for folks like me -- migrating from
linux to windows?
2. Do people using emacs on windows prefer cygwin-emacs to native
windows emacs?

Thanks
