Both are supposed to be able to run x86 Windows programs, but our old-faithful Emacs 19.34.6 (i386-*-nt4.0) exits silently when run on them, without displaying any error messages or anything else. In any case, performance will be better when they're running as native code. Has anyone done this before? While I'm reasonably used to using Emacs, this will be my first attempt to build or install it - or anything else with GNU autoconfig - and I'm not sure where to start, apart from downloading the tarball. thanks, John Dallman
