[cgreek:00193] Re: cgreek w/ windows xp

[William Furley <william.furley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to you both: success!

The key was clearly to load dotemacs.el *before* the lines relating to
bdf fonts in .emacs. I have yet to try out the remaining functionality
of CGreek (reading the TLG disk etc.), and will get back to you if I
encounter further problems. May I suggest that you alter your web site
to indicate that the Unix version of CGreek can be installed for emacs
21.2 running on Windows NT? I am sure many will be interested. With
some help from you (Alexej Kryukov) it should not be difficult to
write a small installation instructions for Windows users.

Greetings to all,

William Furley
