I think we're agreeing, in a way. This thing I call NTEMACS (and googled for
under that name and downloaded to xt) is definitely NOT a cygwin emacs.
And, as you just said, M-x version said to this "NTemacs" gives:
GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD
Cygwin DOES have an emacs, under that very name, and I sure did NOT
like it at all.
Anyway, I got "ntemacs", and really like it. Goes full screen (the
cygwin one wouldn't), for one. A biggie for me.
Probably this same executable goes under several names?
