I have cygwin (which has it's own different installation of Emacs 21.2.x). I also have Emacs 21.3 (the standalone M$ Windows version) installed *separately*. These are with the Windows version of Emacs only: 1. When I use dired mode to list /cygwin/usr/{bin|lib} (I've made sure this dir exists etc.) - this is on Win2K - emacs does not display *any* files. The dired buffer just has ./ and ../ listed. Is this expected behavior. 2. Another related question. Can the Windows only version of emacs, execute cygwin binaries. I'm guessing it cannot, but I'd like to know if it can be made to. In other words when I invoke "M-x shell" I want it to run /usr/bin/bash.exe instead of cmd.exe Please note that the cygwin version of emacs (started within cygwin's X env.) works perfectly. 3. Yet another question - this sounds far-fetched - is there some package, which can open a windows shortcut (to say a text file), correctly. e.g. - c:/my_file.txt and I create windoze shortcut in c:/tmp/my_file.lnk. Now within emacs I say "C-x C-f RET c:/tmp/my_file.lnk" and it should open c:/my_file.txt. I'm probably asking for too much ;-) Any help appreciated, -B. -- Remember 2 + 2 = 5, for large values of 2
