RE: [Texmacs-dev] Texmacs For Windows Beta!!!!

[Dan Martens]

Hi Bill,

That is strange.  I have done a clean install on my XP machine and it worked 
fine. Ah well, what's development without problems right?

If you give the texmacswin32.exe program the --debuglog argument, it will write 
all messages to a file named "debug.log" in the same directory.  Remember to 
delete the .TeXmacs folder from your profile directory to do a clean start.

After you have done this, please post the debug file contents and we can go 
from there.

Dan
