Re: emacs on cygwin

No. If you want NT Emacs to understand Cygwin paths, get cygwin-mount.el from

The Cygwin GNU emacs understands //machine/share syntax, but not X:/path syntax.
Normal Cygwin /some/path/to/file syntax is fine also (of course).
If you want to run "emacs -nw", say from a remote login shell, you can't. (The
error is "emacs: standard input is not a tty".) Instead, use a Cygwin version
of XEmacs, from http://www.xemacs.org/. Using "xemacs -nw" from a remote shell
This works fine for Cygwin GNU emacs. You want "tty" in the CYGWIN environment
variable value for it to work well.
