(BTW, it's not clear to me if version 21.3 is valid -- according to http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/windows/emacs/21.3/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz.back-RSN.README from 23Oct2003 it's not valid, but nevertheless the files appear ready for download at http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz from 26Jan2004). I downloaded from the abovementioned address, ran gunzip-1.2.4-i386, tar-1.11.2a, and addpm. All seemed to execute okay. I now have 2 subdirectories in C:\emacs, emacs-20.7 and emacs-21.3. When I try to run emacs.exe from C:\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin, I get an "Emacs Abort Dialog" window stating that a fatal error has occured. Then I get a "Program Error" window stating that emacs.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. The error message (from DrWatson): The application, , generated an application error The error occured on date/time The exception generated was 80000003 at address 77FA144B (DbgBreakPoint). After a second attempt, the error message was: The application, , generated an application error The error occured on date/time The exception generated was c0000005 at address 1165DCF4 (). Version 20.7 still (seems to) runs okay. Appreciate any help in solving this problem. Thanks, David
