Next question is where can I find an official Emacs 64-bit build? Went to the FAQ, read it at (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq-w32/Downloading.h= tml) it says it should be on the ftp site and there would be both a 32 and 64 bit versions but apparently there is only one of them, the 32 bit.... which I mistakenly took for the 64 bit. This probably explains.... Google a bit further, and it appears that some guy/team publishes a 64 bit build on sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64/ but it has nothing official and it evolves along with the most recent sources apparently. Just now found https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2015-06/msg00729.html.... discussing this issue :-) BTW, I'll also give a try at the cygwin emacs build. I'll also look at building Emacs from source for x64.... Conclusion: - I now have a version (25.xx) that works with cygwin64 bash.... - FAQ still a somewhat misleading - I'll have a look at building Emacs from source.... and see how to share the results. Thanks anyway to all.
