Re: [Orgmode] Windows and emacs

[David Lord]

Ray,

I'd agree with Mike and Scot's recommendation to use EmacsW32 for all  
the reasons they mentioned.  I'd also recommend downloading cygwin.   
Current versions of EmacsW32 pick up the cygwin installation pretty  
easily and you really need it for command line tools like grep, ftp  
(for tramp) and git (for org-mode versioning); not to mention the  
command line itself.  I've been using this setup for 3 or 4 years on  
various corporate laptops and it works very well.

Regards
David
