Addition to zsh FAQ: Zsh 4.0.4 with emacs 21.1 on Windows NT/XP



In section 3.10 ("why does zsh not work in an emacs shell any more?"), you could add this, which recently bit me:

In Windows, zsh is built with cygwin and emacs is a native Win32 app, so they disagree about line-ending conventions. If you try to use zsh under emacs, you need to do this in your .emacs:
 (setenv "CYGWIN" "nobinmode")
If you don't do this, zsh will see spurious ^M (CR) chars at the end of every line you type and will give you errors.
