fiplr error (Windows) on fiplr-find-file: (void-function exit-fun) in grizzle #33

When I try to fiplr-find-file in Windows, Emacs launches the debugger, complaining of a missing function exit-fun in grizzle.

Anyone have success with fiplr or grizzle in Windows?

same issue

I just got fiplr working in Windows. I didn't have any problems with grizzl; my main issue was that fiplr-list-files-shell-command expects a UNIX-style "find" command; the MS-DOS "find" command doesn't work at all, and generates no results. When I changed that one function to invoke find.exe from the GNU findutils, everything works correctly.

I do wish there were a more straightforward way to handle Windows. Maybe add a customization variable to set the path to the "find" command, instead of using the first one it finds in the search path?

I think that could be achieved by changing fiplr-list-files-shell-command to use find-program if available, so line 252 would read:

             `(,(or find-program "find")

And the user could then point find-program at the appropriate path. This works for me.
