This directory contains various self-installing archives for Windows
of XEmacs.  Organization of this directory may change.

Beta version:

                         Mule and all packages.

Current version:

                         Yes, you get the kitchen sink.

Previous versions:

    xemacs-21.4.5.exe    Jim Potts's Installshield installer for Windows.

    xemacs-21.1.9-i586-pc-win32.EXE
                         Win32 executables for XEmacs 21.1.9.  These
                         were compiled with XPM, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, 
                         native sound and full optimization.  The
                         Visual C++ 6.0 compiler was used.
                         Built by Phil Toland <p.toland@computer.org>

A detailed report of how this binary-kit was built can be obtained
after installation by performing an `M-x describe-installation' inside
XEmacs.

This file contains the architecture-dependent executables as well
as the core lisp, "man", "etc", and "info" directories.  Unlike the 
Unix version of XEmacs, this installer includes all of the XEmacs 
packages as well.

There is loads of information about XEmacs at http://www.xemacs.org.

HOW TO INSTALL
==============

(These installation instructions were verified for XEmacs 21.1.9,
and should also work for more recent versions.  Please report any
problems or variations to xemacs-beta@xemacs.org so we can update
these instructions.)

Simply double-click on the file xemacs-21.1.9-i586-pc-win32.EXE and
follow the dialogs.  If you are unsure about which packages to
install, accept the default and if you change your mind later you can
re-run the installer or install new packages from within XEmacs. For
more information on how to use the package system, see:
<URL:ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/current/README.packages>

Note for NT users: The installer puts the icons in a common start menu
group and the common desktop if it can.
