Setting a unix style path for HOME fixes bash but breaks emacs.
Emacs no longer know where my home is.
Any clues?

Hi,
I have just downloaded and installed cygwin 1.1.6 in replacement for B19 and
I seem to have found a significant difference that I am not sure should be
there. In version B19, I could invoke the cygtclsh80 application and send in
a file name including a fully qualified path (for example, cygtclsh80
//c/foo/bar/mytclscript.tcl). In this particular case the path for the file
was being obtained by the pwd command and all seemed to function correctly.
Having install 1.1.6, I find that the pwd command returns the same
information, but the cygtclsh80 nolonger can decipher the directory path and
hence find the file. If I was to move to the //c/ directory and issue the
command manually without the //c/ then all seems to be OK. The version of
cgytclsh80 is 8.0.4
Does anyone have any ideas ??

I use NT Emacs ( http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html )
which seems to be a fairly nice port of GNU Emacs 19.34 to NT/Win95 (I
have only used it for a couple of weeks so this is not an expert
speaking). It is possible to copy/paste between Emacs and any other
Win95 application (including the DOS box). In the Emacs window the
copying/pasting is done solely by means of the mouse.
To make bash your default shell in Emacs place the definition `set
SHELL=<gnuwin32 bin path>\bash.exe' in autoexec.bat and add the below
lines to your .emacs file:
(setq win32-quote-process-args t)
(setq shell-command-switch "-c")
and you should be in business! (This is also described in ntemacs.html
which is a pretty good README kind of file.)

Ok, we have to look/wait for a port of xterm to Win95.
Thanks for your reply.

Heyyy!! What a neat trick! Would you mind putting a small document
together on how you did that? (Which Emacs version, etc.)

Most of this didn't happen in 17.1, so it should be fixable. However,
17.1 had trouble with deadkeys, which lost us ~, ^, and `, so
restoring the old behavior is not good enough. This is a known bug in
the DOS box itself under W95/Win32 (it's on Microsofts bug list), and
there's no workaround. We need a better terminal window altogether!

I have downloaded and installed the 18b version of the gnu-win32 user
tools under Windows 95. Bash has now been defined as the default shell
in Emacs and bash runs smoothly within a *shell* buffer.
However, I have problems when running bash from a DOS prompt
window. Firstly, the `Alt Char' key does not work. This means that I'm
not able to get access to the characters `$', `|', ``' and others
which hampers the usefulness of bash considerably. I have tried to
define some keybindings for these characters in ~/.inputrc, but for
unknown reasons it does not work.
Another problem is related to copying/pasting text to and from the DOS
prompt window. When bash is started trying to paste something into the
DOS prompt window (using the paste button on the tool bar) will make
the window hang, and the only possible operation left is closing the
window.
I would be very grateful for help on these problems.
Steen
