    88  This directory contains source and precompiled distributions for GNU 
    9   Emacs on Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me.  This port is a part 
    10   of the standard GNU Emacs distribution from the Free Software 
     9  Emacs on Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me.  This port is a 
     10  part of the standard GNU Emacs distribution from the Free Software 
    1111  Foundation; the precompiled distributions are provided here for 
    12   convenience since, unlike Unix, the majority of Windows users do not 
    13   have access to a compiler (and, besides, do you really want to compile 
    14   Emacs when you don't have to?).

    2827  If you want to redistribute any of the precompiled distributions of 
    2928  Emacs, be careful to check the implications of the GPL.  For instance, 
    30   if you put the emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz file from this directory on 
     29  if you put the emacs-22.1-bin-i386.tar.gz file from this directory on 
    3130  an Internet site, you must arrange to distribute the source files of 
    32   the SAME version (i.e. emacs-21.3-src.tar.gz).

    41   Emacs is distributed primarily as a set of large gzipped tar files 
     38* Distributions in .tar.gz and .zip format 
     39 
     40  Emacs is distributed primarily as source code in a large gzipped tar file 
    4241  (*.tar.gz).  Because Emacs is quite large and therefore difficult to 
    43   download over unreliable connections, it is provided in several 
    44   combinations, ranging from the complete source plus executables, to 
    45   just the minimal amount needed to run without any source, plus a 
    46   couple of optional packages.  Here are the combinations (i386 in the 
    47   name indicates a tarball contains executables compiled for 
    48   Intel-compatible x86 systems): 
     42  download over unreliable connections, the Windows binaries are provided 
     43  in several combinations, ranging from the complete source plus executables, 
     44  to just the minimal amount needed to run without any source, plus a 
     45  couple of optional packages.  Formerly, we used the same .tar.gz format 
     46  but since there are no longer legal problems with .zip files, and the 
     47  latest versions of Windows support these natively, the Windows binaries 
     48  of Emacs are now distributed as .zip files. 
     49  Here are the combinations (i386 in the name indicates a zipfile contains 
     50  executables compiled for Intel-compatible x86 systems): 
    4951 
    5052  + Primary precompiled distribution, including lisp source: 
    5153 
    52       emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz 
    53  
    54   + Minimal precompiled distribution, which excludes lisp source: 
    55  
    56       emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz 
    57  
    58     You can download emacs-21.3-lisp.tar.gz to get the lisp source, if 
    59     you later decide you want it - it is useful for understanding how 
    60     packages work, and how they can best be setup or customized. 
    61  
     54      emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip 
    6255 
    6356  NB. If you just want to run Emacs, get one of the distributions above. 
    6457 
    65  
    66   + Bare executables, only useful if you want to get the complete source 
    67     release below, but can't compile Emacs yourself: 
    68  
    69       emacs-21.3-barebin-i386.tar.gz  (requires emacs-21.3-src.tar.gz) 
    70  
    71   + Undumped executable, only needed for rebuilding Emacs after changing 
    72     certain core lisp files: 
    73  
    74       emacs-21.3-undumped-i386.tar.gz 
    75  
    76   + Optional package providing the Library of Emacs Input Methods for 
    77     typing non-ascii characters, notably Chinese, Japanese and Korean, 
    78     but also including European and other character sets: 
    79  
    80       emacs-21.3-leim.tar.gz 
     58  + Bare executables, useful if you want to get the complete source 
     59    release, but can't compile Emacs yourself: 
     60 
     61      emacs-22.1-barebin-i386.zip  (requires ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz) 
    8162 
    8263  + The complete official source for Emacs: 
    8364 
    84       emacs-21.3-src.tar.gz 
    85  
    86   + The complete official source for LEIM: 
    87  
    88       leim-21.3-src.tar.gz 
    89  
     65      ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz 
    9066 
    9167* Distributions for non-x86 platforms 
    …… 
    9470  platforms supported by Windows NT no longer seem to be in demand, 
    9571  and Emacs is yet to be ported to 64bit Windows platforms. If you are 
    96   willing to help port Emacs to 64bit versions of Windows, your 
     72  willing to help port Emacs 23 to 64bit versions of Windows, your 
    9773  contribution will be welcome on the emacs-devel mailing list.

    9975* Unpacking distributions 
    10076 
    101   Ports of GNU gzip and GNU tar for handling the distribution file 
    102   formats can be found in several places that distribute ports of GNU 
     77  Ports of GNU gzip and GNU tar for handling the source distribution file 
     78  format can be found in several places that distribute ports of GNU 
    10379  programs, for example:

    …… 
    133109  djtarnt: simply type return to continue (this is harmless). 
    134110 
     111  The precompiled binaries can be unpacked using unzip.exe from info-zip.org 
     112  if you do not already have other tools to do this. 
     113 
     114    % unzip some.zip 
     115 
    135116  Once you have unpacked a precompiled distribution of Emacs, it should 
    136117  have the following subdirectories: 
    …… 
    144125  the following to be sure the distribution was not corrupted:

    146   + Be sure to disable the CR/LF translation or the executables will be 
    147     unusable.  Older versions of WinZip would enable this translation 
    148     by default.  If you are using WinZip, disable it.  (I don't have 
    149     WinZip myself, and I do not know the specific commands necessary 
    150     to disable it.) 
     127  + Be sure to disable the CR/LF translation or the executables will 
     128    be unusable.  Older versions of WinZip would enable this 
     129    translation by default when unpacking .tar files.  If you are 
     130    using WinZip, disable it.  (I don't have WinZip myself, and I do 
     131    not know the specific commands necessary to disable it.)

    152133  + Check that filenames were not truncated to 8.3.  For example, there
