Win2000, XEmacs 21.4.10, MH-E, cygwin 1.3.17-1

I've been trying to get MH-E to run within XEmacs on both my home (Win
NT4) and office (Win 2000) machines.  Both machines have XEmacs
(21.4.9 at home, 21.4.10 in office) and Cygwin (somewhere around
1.3.?)  installed.  Both XEmacs installations are of the Win32
version, as opposed to the Cygwin version.

On my home (Win NT) machine, I can run mh-rmail with no problem.  I
still have some issues with paths when I try to send mail, but I can
open folders and read mail.

On the office (Win 2000) machine, whenever I try to run mh-rmail, I
get pop-up windows that say:

> The procedure entry point _ctype_ could not be located in the
> dynamic link library cygwin1.dll

So why is XEmacs even *looking* in cygwin1.dll, since it's the win32
installation? 

Anyone know what might be causing this error?  I don't know if this is
a Cygwin issue or an XEmacs issue or both.

Thanks very much.

I doubt XEmacs is looking in cygwin1.dll.  Most likely it's the MH
binaries.

Hmmm.  That's even *more* puzzling, since I'm running the identical
binaries on both machines. I have not succeeded in building nmh on
Cygwin myself.

If you have MSVC++, you can use `dumpbin /imports xemacs.exe' to see
what dlls xemacs.exe (or whatever it's called) depends on.

Ok, my mistake.  It *is* the nmh binaries.  I just noticed that the
message windows that pop up have titles like 

folder.exe
folders.exe
inc.exe
mark.exe
scan.exe

However, the raw nmh commands run in the Cygwin bash shell with no
problems.  It's just running them from XEmacs that seems to cause the
problem.

  Either way works for us (MH-E).

Re: Win2000, XEmacs 21.4.10, MH-E, cygwin 1.3.17-1

Aha!  The Windows PATH.  All I had to do was add "c:\cygwin\bin" to
the front of the Windows path, and that fixed the problem.

Thanks to *ALL* who responded!  I really appreciate it.

Now I just have to work out the path problems, like why, after editing
an outgoing message, MH-E reports that it can't find

   /cygdrive/d/temp/d:/temp/draftsex/

For some reason the Cygwin path is getting pre-pended to the Windows
path.

Thanks all!!!
