ce both emacs' were failing silently, I assumed they both had the problem. Note that one of the post-install scripts failed with 1.7.9 as well (not with 1.7.8), so not really sure what is happening. More info later, --KUBI-- -- Professor John Kubiatowicz 673 Soda Hall Berkeley, CA 94720-1

m the 1.7.9 release. So, I backed out to 1.7.8 dll and emacs worked again. I suspect that emacs needs to be recompiled to work with 1.7.9. My uninformed $0.02. --KUBI-- -- Professor John Kubiatowicz 673 Soda Hall Berkeley, CA 94720-1776 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems
