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.

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?
