Dear Friends,
I am encouraged by using texmacs with cgwin; there is one obscure point
however; in order to use texmacs, I need to do the following according to
your detailed instructions below on your website:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Start and test your X. Double click on the Cygwin icon on your Desktop, this
brings up a black Cygwin shell. Type:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard &
xterm &
In the tray in the lower right corner of your screen you will see a black X
and an additional (white) window should appear. In order not to set the
DISPLAY variable again and again, you should set it as a user's variable
under Start->Control_Panel->System->Advanced->Environment_variables.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm using an XP machine. If I simply type texmacs & I get a fatal error. So
it is important to set the variables. HOW DO YOU DO THIS PRECISELY?? I know
how to go to the Environmental variables window in XP , but how to you input
and set these in WINDOWS??? The instructions are completely vague. They
presume that a geek knows how to already. Please help out. Show precisely
step by step what needs to be done. Thanks. Chris
