Oh, how I'd love to say "yes" here, alas, I honestly don't know because I have never had anything to do with Cygwin.

OK, now I have to ask the question... Why don't you just install Gnus to the default location? Or configure Gnus to install under ~/.xemacs/site-packages ? -- |---------------------| | Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. | | The proof of the pudding, is under the crust. | |---------------------------------| --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Eicq - The XEmacs ICQ Client iEYEABECAAYFAkACINkACgkQHSfbS6lLMAN70gCgiOtMadvupCL6EsmGqTbwy2nq EXUAni3U7YtMMbv7b7znuAwcztzKu5KX =Dbwj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
