I seem to be having a problem running ciao from emacs. (Installation seems correct: I do have the Info reader files, syntax coloring, and prolog mode menus.) I know very little about emacs, so it could be something simple, like making sure emacs knows wherer ciao is. In short, I am not able to do the following:

* Loading the file using the `Ciao/Prolog' menu (or typing <^C>
     <l>) should start in another emacs buffer the Ciao toplevel
     shell and load the file. You should now be able to switch the
     the toplevel shell and make queries from within `emacs'.

Here is the error message:

Spawning child process: exec format error

I'm using ciao under Win95 (ciao version 20.7). One complication of my system is that it is installed on a Zip drive D:, and the .emacs file seems to have to be on C: root. I doubt if that is important, though it did take a while to figure out why emacs was not reading the .emacs file.

Any suggestions or samples for tracking down the problem?
