Eli responded with "use MinGW GDB". I use a variation of that from AdaCore; it works quite well. Another solution is to use Cygwin X Windows and Cygwin Emacs. I recently tried that for a different reason, and it works quite well. If your C++ compiler is also Cygwin, that would give a single integrated environment. -- -- Stephe
