With Cygwin installed and in my PATH, `M-x man' used to work fine for
me. In the past year, it has stopped working; all I get is "error in
process sentinel. Can't find the xxx manpage." I was able to work
around the problem either by setting shell-file-name to
"sh"
or, guessing that it was a CMD.EXE line length issue, by shortening
Man-filter-list to
(("sed" "" "-e '/^[^A-^Z][^A-^Z]*$/d'" "-e '/^[[789]/s///g'" ))
I don't know what the best fix might be. Can anyone tell me the
implications of setting shell-file-name to "sh?"
Thanks,
