QUESTION (10)

Microsoft Windows Locks up after killing an ipipe.

ANSWER

This is a known problem for '95/'98 (not NT), on killing an ipipe. Sometimes the "Winoldapp" locks up, if this is the case use "Alt-Ctrl-Del" to bring up the "Close Program" dialogue, kill off the "WinOldApp" if it is not responding.

MicroEmacs will then come back. We are looking for ways around this problem at the moment. From the programming perspective Windows is just not as nice as UNIX - which just works !!
