Sorry, that was wrong. (It's been a while since I researched this problem, so I forgot the details.) You need to make sure both USER and USERNAME environment variables are set to the same value. Windows sets USERNAME, so if you want to keep that, make sure USER is set to the same value. If you don't want to set USER globally, you can do it in the [emacs] section of your djgpp.env file. > Setting LOGNAME in the environment should solve the problem in a more > consistent and predictable way. Again, I should have said "setting USER".
