Emacs from cygwin in X mode with no X running

Harry said :- Is there a handy way (on winxp) to use emacs as if in X but without installing or using the X side of cygwin? export DISPLAY= ; xemacs& will do the job, as Xemacs will then start in MS mode. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Proble

Emacs from cygwin in X mode with no X running
