Er...no.   I was just a little gun shy I guess.  I transferred my
.emacs, .gnus etc to win platform and it started without too much
fuss. I was able to identify the startup errors and fix them.

I'm not currently using cygwin stuff.  May install it later if I get
too frustrated with windows way of doing things.

Thanks, but I was able to get it all working just by setting winxp
environment for home and moving my emacs stuff to C:\usr\local\.
Init files to C:\reader.

There is still one small stumbling block.  I see emacs expects its
lisp files where I extracted the tar package:

  C:\reader\emacs*

I wondered how to tell it to look in the usual unix location
/usr/local.  Only of course, in this case C:\usr\local.
I know how to set the load-path and stuff, but it seems something is
preset to make emacs look in extracted directory.

Maybe something in `default.el' to redirect?
