RE: Text editors under Cygnus


 You're somewhat confused.  The X in Xemacs does not refer to the X window
system.
 It is a configuration option whether to include X support and I would guess
that most people do not include X when building under Cygwin.
 I have both.  emacs-20.7/bin/emacs.exe is 3769006 bytes and the stripped
xemacs-21.4.3.exe is 4150272 bytes, hardly enough difference to prefer one
over the other.
 However, there are packages which only run on one or the other.  Pick your
favorite.
