BUGS in GNU Emacs

BUGS in GNU Emacs

[mhs208]

Dear Sir/Madame

I used Latex from Emacs in Windows 2000 and XP and would like to do the 
same things here. Yesterday, I found the files of Emacs 21.3 and 
downloaded them from http://www.math.aau.dk/~dethlef/Tips/download.html.

I tested the software but the following error message came out.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

m:\My Documents\kikuchi>latex "\nonstopmode\input" getphd.tex
latex "\nonstopmode\input" getphd.tex
This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2)
  %&-line parsing enabled.
  (c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx)
I can't find the format file `latex.efmt'!

m:\My Documents\kikuchi>


What is the file 'latex.emft'? How do I fix this problem? For my work, 
latex is essential software and your kind help is very helpful for me.

All the best

This has nothing to do with Emacs.  You are using a Windows port of
e-TeX, so please take this up with e-TeX maintainers.
