44 These are particularly good for help with general issues which aren't
|
35869
|
45 specific to the Windows port of Emacs. The main news groups to use
|
|
46 for seeking help are:
|
|
47
|
|
48 gnu.emacs.help
|
|
49 comp.emacs
|

56 * Reporting bugs
|
|
57
|

|
58 If you encounter a bug in this port of Emacs, we would like to hear
|
|
59 about it. First check the file etc/PROBLEMS and the FAQ on the web
|
|
60 page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are any
|
|
61 workarounds. If not, then check whether the bug has something to do
|
|
62 with code in your .emacs file, e.g. by invoking Emacs with the "-q
|
|
63 --no-site-file" options.

66 Windows port, send a message to the help-emacs-windows@gnu.org
|
35869
|
67 mailing list describing the bug, the version of Emacs that you are
|
|
68 using, and the operating system that you are running on (Windows NT,
|
|
69 95 or 98 including service pack level if known). If the bug is
|
|
70 related to subprocesses, also specify which shell you are using (e.g.,
|
|
71 include the values of `shell-file-name' and `shell-explicit-file-name'
|
|
72 in your message).
|
25856
|
73
|

|
74 If you think the bug is not specific to the Windows port of Emacs,
|
|
75 then it is better to mail the bug report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org so
|
|
76 that it will be seen by the right people. If Emacs has been set up to
|
|
77 send mail, you can use the command M-x report-emacs-bug to create and
|
|
78 send the bug report, but in some cases there is a function to report
|
|
79 bugs in a specific package; e.g. M-x gnus-bug for Gnus, M-x
|
|
80 c-submit-bug-report for C/C++/Java mode, etc.
