(init_from_display_pos): If POS says we're already after
an overlay string ending at POS, make sure to pop the iterator
because it will be in front of that overlay string. When POS is
ZV, we've thereby also ``processed'' overlay strings at ZV.

11935 | 1 Building and Installing Emacs |
2 on Windows NT and Windows 95 | |
3 | |
4 You need a compiler package to build and install Emacs on NT or Win95. | |
5 If you don't have one, precompiled versions are available in | |
6 ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/<version>. | |
7 | |
8 Configuring: | |
9 | |
10 (1) In previous versions, you needed to edit makefile.def | |
11 to reflect the compiler package that you are using. You should no | |
12 longer have to do this if you have defined the INCLUDE and LIB | |
13 environment variables, as is customary for use with Windows compilers. | |

21 and use the value of the environment variable instead.) Note |
11935 | 22 that if it is not installed in the directory in which it is built, |
23 the ~16 MB of lisp files will be copied into the installation directory. | |

25 Also, makefile.def is sometimes unpacked read-only; use | |

27 > attrib -r makefile.def | |
28 | |
29 to make it writable. | |

36 (4) The target to compile the sources is "all", and is recursive starting |
11935 | 37 one directory up. The makefiles for the NT port are in files named |
38 "makefile.nt". To get things started, type in this directory: | |
39 | |
40 > nmake -f makefile.nt all | |
41 | |
42 or use the ebuild.bat file. | |
43 | |
44 When the files are compiled, you will see some warning messages declaring | |
45 that some functions don't return a value, or that some data conversions | |
46 will be lossy, etc. You can safely ignore these messages. The warnings | |
47 may be fixed in the main FSF source at some point, but until then we | |
48 will just live with them. | |

50 NOTE: You should not have to edit src\paths.h to get Emacs to run |
11935 | 51 correctly. All of the variables in src\paths.h are configured |
52 during start up using the nt\emacs.bat file (which gets installed | |
53 as bin\emacs.bat -- see below). | |

72 (7) Create the Emacs startup file. Under Unix, this file is .emacs; |
11935 | 73 under NT and Win95, this files is _emacs. (If you would like to |
74 use a .emacs file that, for example, you share with a Unix version | |
75 of Emacs, you can invoke Emacs with the -l option to specify the | |
76 .emacs file that you would like to load.) Note that Emacs requires | |
77 the environment variable HOME to be set in order for it to locate the | |
78 _emacs file. Ideally, HOME should not be set in the emacs.bat file | |
79 as it will be different for each user. (HOME could be set, | |
80 for example, in the System panel of the Control Panel). | |

82 (8) Either click on the icon, or run the emacs.bat file, and away you go. |
11935 | 83 |
84 If you would like to resize the command window that Emacs uses, | |
85 or change the font or colors, click on the program manager icon | |
86 to start Emacs. Change the settings using the "-" menu in the upper | |
87 left hand corner of the window, making sure to select the "Save" | |
88 options in the dialog boxes as you do so. Exit Emacs and restart. |
