GNU Emacs is not ported to Cygwin.

Xemacs may be a candidate.  Andy Piper essentially forked an early
setup.exe so he could provide a pre-compiled Cygwin Xemacs package.
(I think his setup.exe can also be used to install the native win32
version of Xemacs.)  That was because Cygwin setup could not
accomodate an Xemacs package at the time.  I'm sure it could now, but
you'd want to talk to Andy.  Why, are you volunteering to maintain it?

This is not *the* Ken Stevens, is it?

(Oh, probably not.  This is Ken Stevens #7601.  WHO IS NUMBER 1?)

(Sorry, big wine delivery today.  Celebrating that my firewall at home
is working again, after months of being stuffed.  Say... this list
isn't archived, is it?)

Regards,
David
