Using nt 3.51, pentium pro, emacs 19.31. I read the messages from: ediff George V. Reilly Tue, 16 Jul 96 14:25:00 PDT Kenneth L. Degrant II Tue, 16 Jul 1996 12:41:04 -0400 Jean-Paul De Feyter Thu, 11 Jul 1996 23:53:13 +0100 Kenneth L. Degrant II Wed, 10 Jul 1996 07:57:55 -0400 The first problem, which I was able to solve, was that the diff program I am using (cygnus diff) cannot parse the drive letter in things of the form "c:/foo/bar/baz". It is, however, perfectly happy with forward slashes. In fact, since I don't think it likes backslashes, the 'dosify-filename' hack might be malignant in this case. However, although I can get diff to work ok, I can't get ediff to be happy with what it produces. In particular it barfs on the first line of output, which is "35c35^M". I do not know if ediff is barfing on the format of this diff, or on the ctrl M that ends each line. Unfortunately, I don't think it's clearly documented what kind of diff output ediff expects, and I do not have any documents that tell the exact form of output that any particular diff is supposed to produce. I suppose I could hack ediff's regexps for parsing the diff, but therein lie dragons and great danger. I've tried running this in an inferior shell using cmd.exe and cygnus bash, and both give the same behavior. Can anyone tell me what the specific problem is (e.g. ^M, wrong diff format, bug in cygnus diff, etc.) so I don't spend time chasing ghosts? (If the problem is the ^M's, then there is a larger problem of whose responsibility it is to get rid of them. My opinion is that no client code (such as ediff) should ever have to look at them, and they should always be stripped by anything (or an interposed filter) that might produce them. However, that may require too much smarts about guessing what should be in the output.) Thanks. --peter -- A.

I tried M-x ediff-buffers but when it tried to spawn 'diff' it was presenting the command shell with c:/sdfsd/sdfsd/fsd/dfsss 'unix' style filenames. Is there a way to combat this???? Also, is there a newsgroup for ntemacs??? Kenneth -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth L.

It used to work under 19.31 and all I get is stuff like: 3,11d2 12a4,7 16,17c11,14 20c17 22c19 44c41 49c46 51,53c48,50 57,64c54,61 ... in a buffer called "ediff-errors". Any ideas? 2) Sounds don't seem to work, ie, pressing C-g does not get me the sound attached to "default beep" or whatever it's called. Sound and visual-bell don't work for me. Thanks in advance.
