You're right, i used version 3.79.1, mingw port, which according to the
INSTALL file in the emacs distribution should work fine, but you reported
that it doesn't and that's also my experience. Apologies for my rather
uncareful reading of your first message.

As an aside, with the availability of mingw and cygwin, I wonder if the
ntemacs port couldn't be configured by the usual congigure script in the
base source directory as it would on any other unix system, or is this
something to do with keeping compatibility with MSVC ?
