yes thanks. for more infor about slime see a note i sent to the list earlier today.

i wish i could do something better for windows -- does their new Vista have a reasonable shell language or is it still the same dos nonsense under the hood?

you need to set cm-program, otherwise emacs attempts to launch a shell
script (something windows knows nothing about)

add the following to your .emacs (make sure to alter the path to where
cm is located on your system)

(setq cm-program "c:/path/to/cm/bin/cm.bat")

So I switched from CYGWIN/clisp to plain on clisp on XP. Thanks to those
who suggested I make the switch.

I am now trying to get Xemacs/SLIME/Clisp/CM working.  I followed the
"running common music in Emacs" tutorial on the common music homepage and I am getting a weird error when I try to launch Common Music in Xemacs (by
doing M-x cm).

The error says: Peculiar Error (file-error "error starting" "Exec format
error" . "c:\\lisp\\cm\\bin\\cm.sh").

Any ideas what might be going on?

FWIW I am running several different lisps on my XP machine and I have no idea if Xemacs/SLIME is using Clisp or one of the other lisps. Any tips on
how to determine this?

Thanks!
