Thanks, Sivaram. I have installed files you suggested above and added lines to .gnus, restarted emacs, and now gnus is much slower (long wait on black hourglass within Emacs. dynamic-library-alist shows same as before with older versions of dlls. My box is also win7 laptop (64-bit). I'm assuming that all this 32bit stuff will work since I think Emacs itself is still only 32 bit. Anyway now gnus is not even usable as newsreader so I am posting via newsguy web direct. I don't want to undo what I've done and will start reading the whole gnus manual to see if I can get more insight into what is going on. Anyway I am not able to see where the old dll's are coming from. Is it necessary to restart w32 itself? There is a 493k libXpm.dll in the emacs.exe subdirectory (\emacs\bin). Is that supposed to be there? Ed _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
