+** Emacs refuses to start on Windows 9X because ctime64 function is missing
+
+This is a sign that Emacs was compiled with MinGW runtime version
+4.0.x or later. These versions of runtime call in their startup code
+the ctime64 function, which does not exist in MSVCRT.DLL, the C
+runtime shared library, distributed with Windows 9X.
+
+A workaround is to build Emacs with MinGW runtime 3.x (the latest
+version is 3.20).
+
** A few seconds delay is seen at startup and for many file operations
This happens when the Net Logon service is enabled. During Emacs
switch, which will force Emacs to load libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll on startup,
ahead of any optional DLLs loaded on-demand later in the session.
+** File selection dialog opens in incorrect directories
+
+Invoking the file selection dialog on Windows 7 or later shows a
+directory that is different from what was passed to `read-file-name'
+or `x-file-dialog' via their arguments.
+
+This is due to a deliberate change in behavior of the file selection
+dialogs introduced in Windows 7. It is explicitly described in the
+MSDN documentation of the GetOpenFileName API used by Emacs to pop up
+the file selection dialog. For the details, see
+
+ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646839%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
+
+The dialog shows the last directory in which the user selected a file
+in a previous invocation of the dialog with the same initial
+directory.
+
+You can reset this "memory" of that directory by invoking the file
+selection dialog with a different initial directory.
+
** PATH can contain unexpanded environment variables
Old releases of TCC (version 9) and 4NT (up to version 8) do not correctly
non-US timezones. This is due to over-simplistic handling of
daylight savings switchovers by the Windows libraries.
-** Files larger than 4GB report wrong size
+** Files larger than 4GB report wrong size in a 32-bit Windows build
Files larger than 4GB cause overflow in the size (represented as a
32-bit integer) reported by `file-attributes'. This affects Dired as
device names such as /dev/null in the DJGPP runtime library. A
work-around is to rename the problem directory to another name.
-*** MS-DOS+DJGPP: Problems on MS-DOS if DJGPP v2.0 is used to compile Emacs.
-
-There are two DJGPP library bugs which cause problems:
-
- * Running `shell-command' (or `compile', or `grep') you get
- `Searching for program: permission denied (EACCES), c:/command.com';
- * After you shell to DOS, Ctrl-Break kills Emacs.
-
-To work around these bugs, you can use two files in the msdos
-subdirectory: `is_exec.c' and `sigaction.c'. Compile them and link
-them into the Emacs executable `temacs'; then they will replace the
-incorrect library functions.
-
*** MS-DOS: Emacs compiled for MSDOS cannot find some Lisp files, or other
run-time support files, when long filename support is enabled.
