Just a note to mention that the problem I was having running the Ciao
toplevel under my winEmacs (and bothering everyone about) has been resolved
simply, though I am ashamed to admit it: my Norton Antivirus was blocking
the subprocess without a word. From the Emacs manual:
A third report from Peter Haas about Norton Antivirus 2000 (Emacs 20.5.1,
Win98): a DOS shell cannot be started within Emacs without disabling the
antivirus autoprotect feature (e.g., clicking on the icon in the system
tray).
Now I am happily exploring Ciao.
(Another glitch which I will explore: under winEmacs the Ciao menus go off
the screen to the left.)
Thanks,
Bill Winder
