Now I am more curious about why this version of Emacs is there. For me nearly nothing works in this Emacs. For example typing C-c results in C-g. Trying to examine a variable results in the error message "Cannot open load file: pp". Trying to send a bug report I am told that Emacs can not load emacsbug. Etc. The about page says GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2007-07-19 on HERRING Is there anyone to contact about this?
