Hi,

I am trying to install ESS with Xemacs 21.4.22.  I am using Windows XP with
Cygwin.  It works normally if I run xemacs directly from Windows, however,
when I try to open xemacs from cygwin I get the following error message:

Symbol's function definition is void: w32-short-file-name

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error
in your initialization file and remove it.  Use the `-debug-init' option
to XEmacs to view a complete error backtrace.

(2) (warning/warning) None of 'w32-short-file-name, 'win32-short-file-name,
or 'mswindows-short-file-name are defined!
You will have to manually set   ess-program-files (in ess-cust.el) to
the correct "8.3"-style directory name.

I am using ESS version 5.7.1, and the latest version of Cygwin (I believe it
is 1.7).  I created the init.el file, and was forced to use (load "pathname
for ess-site"), because (require 'ess-site) didn't work for me.

Thanks for your help,
Ahmed Abdallah
