## QUESTION (10)

Microsoft Windows Locks up after killing an ipipe.

## ANSWER

This is a known problem for '95/'98 (not NT), on killing an ipipe. Sometimes the "Winoldapp" locks up, if this is the case use "Alt-Ctrl-Del" to bring up the "Close Program" dialogue, kill off the "`WinOldApp`" if it is not responding.

MicroEmacs will then come back. We are looking for ways around this problem at the moment. From the programming perspective Windows is just not as nice as UNIX - which just works !!
