Hello,
I am a long time user of Emacs for Windows. Our IT people set me up with
Windows 2000 yesterday, before they did so I saved on a network drive my
.emacs file and other Emacs goodies. I am now starting from a clean
computer, excepted for the usual corporate programs I have nothing
installed. I got a fresh copy of Emacs-21.3 and followed the instructions
for installation. It is installed under C:\Emacs\Emacs-21.3. I then
setted the Emacs icon on my desktop and copied back my .emacs file in C:
\Emacs and started Emacs in the usual way --- by clicking on the icon ---
Emacs started OK but didn't load my .emacs file? I tried to move my .emacs
file to every location I could think of: C:\, C:\Emacs, C:
\Emacs\Emacs-21.3, C:\Emacs\Emacs-21.3\bin, but Emacs never finds it? In
the past I had my .emacs file in C:\Emacs and Emacs always found it. Both,
C:\Emacs and C:\Emacs\Emacs-21.3\bin are in the environment variable
"PATH".
Any clues highly appreciated, thanks,
GĂ©rald Jean
