A typical error: FTP Error: USER request failed; 500 AUTH not understood.
`efs-ftp-program-args'. Use M-x customize-variable, and verify the
needed flag with `man ftp' or other local documentation.

+@unnumberedsubsec Q2.0.16: Cygwin XEmacs won't start: cygXpm-noX4.dll was not found (NEW)
+
+The Cygwin binary distributed with the netinstaller uses an external DLL
+to handle XPM images (such as toolbar buttons). You may get an error like
+
+ This application has failed to start because cygXpm-noX4.dll was not found.
+ Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
+
+Andy Piper <andy@@xemacs.org> sez:
+
+ cygXpm-noX4 is part of the cygwin distribution under libraries or
+ graphics, but is not installed by default. You need to run the
+ cygwin setup again and select this package.
+
+Ie, reinstalling XEmacs won't help because it is not part of the XEmacs
+distribution.

@unnumberedsubsec Q2.1.1: Help! XEmacs just crashed on me!
If you want to compile under X, you will also need the X libraries; see
@ref{Q6.1.6}.
+If you want to compile without X, you will need the @file{xpm-nox}
+library, which must be specifically selected in the Cygwin netinstaller;
+it is not selected by default. The package has had various names.
+Currently it is called @file{cygXpm-noX4.dll}.

@unnumberedsubsec Q6.1.4: How do I compile under Cygwin?
/usr/lib/libXpm.dll.a -> /usr/lib/libXpm-noX.dll.a
@end example
+(This advice may now be obsolete because of the availability of the
+cygXpm-noX4.dll package from Cygwin. Send confirmation to
