OK, so please start "xemacs -vanilla" and tell [email protected]
what steps are necessary to reproduce the problem.  Please be sure to
describe a simple test case, including a simple file that exhibits the
problem.  Often by stripping the problem down to a basic test case,
the problem will become obvious to you and/or others.

<b.k.> There are no steps necessary. Just open a piece of simplest of C-code (like HelloWorld.cpp). Paren-highlighting does not seem to work for me with any 21.5.34 versions. Works fine with 21.5.29 versions.

the file nt/README in the source has some (slightly bit-rotted)
instructions.

That's terrific.  If you can build against Visual Studio Community
2013, and document the steps you take, that would be great.
I will review the information and get the necessary changes
checked in.


<b.k.>  I am afraid the build fail very quickly, like in a heartbeat. Will you be able to help me frequently ? Better still, it may be possible for you to take a look at the build instructions and make some gross-level changes to the build instructions. In any case, you may want to have the "VS Community 2013" version installed for your work anyways.
