> Hello,
>  I had reported a problem with addpm.exe on W2K. I am building CVS HEAD
>  using MinGW-GCC and MSVC6 and face the same problem of addpm.exe getting
>  stuck duing "nmake (gmake) install".
> I found that it is getting stuck in DdeConnect(). I am not aware of DDE
> mechanism but feel we should have a time out. Since "addpm.exe" is trivia
> and does not affect the working of GNU Emacs, the install should progress
> even if "addpm.exe" fails.
>
>  Also, I noticed "gmake info" failes on MinGW-GCC on W2K. The problem is
>  with backslash ("\") in makefile.w32-in at target "info:". Changing it
>  to forward slashes "/", fixes this problem.

> with best regards,
