Hi guys

I downloaded and installed GNU emacs 22.3.1 i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600 on windows
XP pro.

Since I used it before “6 years ago” on a Linux box and absolutely loved it,
I want to use it again.

I need a refresher on how to get a php-mode up and running and where to get
a nice dark “black” background schema style “already set up for the rest of
the colors” on this XP box.

thx

will it work on Windows XP? I could not find any installation for Windows in
its Docs.

On windows, by ALL MEANS, use "NTEMACS", NOT "emacs"-compiled-etc-for-windows.

There's an emacs that you can get via cygwin -- at least for me, it
really sucks!  Small window, impossible to go full-screen, plus lots
of problems.

But NTEMACS (the NT means the ancient "windows NT", the first windows os
that you could get things like emacs to work on) -- apparently it's a
*separate* emacs, specially hacked (not just compiled) for windows.

After using the cygwin-emacs for a while (very, very unfriendly, especially
the ungrowable window it worked in), I tried NTemacs -- WOW! Couldn't tell
the difference emacs there and on a REAL computer-and-os!

What a wonderful, wonderful discovery!

You are confusing things. The native Windows port you are talking
about is not separate, and the name ntemacs is obsolete, since it was
merged with the main emacs repository almost 15 years ago.

The version string "emacs 22.3.1 i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600" shows that the
OP is already using the native port, and not a cygwin build.

I think we're agreeing, in a way.  This thing I call NTEMACS (and googled for 
under that name and downloaded to xt) is definitely NOT a cygwin emacs.

And, as you just said, M-x version said to this "NTemacs" gives:
   GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD

Cygwin DOES have an emacs, under that very name, and I sure did NOT
like it at all.

Anyway, I got "ntemacs", and really like it.  Goes full screen (the
cygwin one wouldn't), for one.  A biggie for me.


Probably this same executable goes under several names?
