22 Simple program to start Emacs with its console window hidden.
24 This program is provided purely for convenience, since most users will
25 use Emacs in windowing (GUI) mode, and will not want to have an extra
26 console window lying around. */
29 You may want to define this if you want to be able to install updated
30 emacs binaries even when other users are using the current version.
31 The problem with some file servers (notably Novell) is that an open
32 file cannot be overwritten, deleted, or even renamed. So if someone
33 is running emacs.exe already, you cannot install a newer version.
34 By defining CHOOSE_NEWEST_EXE, you can name your new emacs.exe
35 something else which matches "emacs*.exe", and runemacs will
36 automatically select the newest emacs executable in the bin directory.
37 (So you'll probably be able to delete the old version some hours/days
38 later).
