Of course, the first thing I do when I have to use MS-Windows, is to install cygwin. That's why I did not see the problem. Go fetch it: http://www.cygwin.com/ And of course, ispell is included in cygwin, and AucTeX is included in the xemacs-sumo package. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Until real software engineering is developed, the next best practice is to develop with a dynamic system that has extreme late binding in all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way is Lisp. -- Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
