The problem seems to be, that somewhere in my program
(which runs under unix also) something like (run-command "ln -s")
is called (and I have a cygwin ln in my path) and than later on
the result is copied with (copy-file ...), which behaves as is
should. So it's all my fault.
But I have another question. Normally on an xterm Ctrl-S
stops the output from a program, but it doesn't work
with my gambit script. So do I have to catch/enable a signal?
Regard,
Christoph
