I just downloaded the latest release of Gnu emacs (19.31) for NT. I
have set it up so that it is equivalent to my Unix Gnu emacs environment:
- shell mode directory tracking is working (I'm using the 4NT shell
with cd aliased to cdd)
This will work even better in Win-Emacs once I convert Editi's
dosshell to use the new ansyc. subprocess. Dosshell has lots
of goodies: knows how to win-exec windows programs, knows
to complete only over executables in initial part of command,
emulates pushd/popd, supports multiline commands, Fontifies
nicely, etc.
- I can send mail (smtpmail.el) and read mail (using POP3 with RMAIL)
Win-Emacs should work fine to send mail via winsock once you've
configured it.
- I have one .emacs for both NT and Unix
This will always be a pain if you use XEmacs and FSF until
more standardization occurs.
- network emacs-lisp packages work - like ange-ftp
Should also work in Win-Emacs once configured properly.
- scrollbars work
For scrollbars you'll have to wait until Win-Emacs is upgraded.
