Re: external methods not working on cygwin emacs

[James Yoo]

Michael,

I forgot to mention that I ssh'd from the emacs shell and then ran the
sed command...

anyway,

uname -sr  ==> Sun OS 5.8

/opt/local/bin/sed --version ==> 3.02 ( realize that this is a pretty
old version, but the command that is supposed to execute is not really
all that crazy... I will try to upgrade sed anyway)

thanks,

James
