-			   Emacs for Windows
-
-  This README file describes how to set up and run a precompiled
-  version of GNU Emacs for Windows.  This distribution can be found on
-  the ftp.gnu.org server and its mirrors:
-
-	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
-
-  This server contains other distributions, including the full Emacs
-  source distribution and a barebin distribution which can be installed
-  over it, as well as older releases of Emacs for Windows.
-
-  Answers to frequently asked questions, and further information about
-  this port of GNU Emacs and related software packages can be found via
-  http:
-
-	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/
-
-* Preliminaries
-
-  Along with this file should be six subdirectories (bin, etc, info,
-  lisp, leim, site-lisp).  If you have downloaded the barebin
-  distribution, then it will contain only the bin directory and the
-  built in documentation in etc/DOC-X, the rest of the subdirectories
-  are in the src distribution, which the barebin distribution is
-  designed to be used with.
-
-* Setting up Emacs
-
-  To install Emacs, simply unpack all the files into a directory of
-  your choice, but note that you might encounter minor problems if
-  there is a space anywhere in the directory name.  To complete the
-  installation process, you can optionally run the program addpm.exe
-  in the bin subdirectory.  This will put an icon for Emacs in the
-  Start Menu under "Start -> Programs -> Gnu Emacs".
-
-  Some users have reported that the Start Menu item is not created for
-  them.  If this happens, just create your own shortcut to runemacs.exe,
-  eg. by dragging it on to the desktop or the Start button.
-
-  Note that running addpm is now an optional step; Emacs is able to
-  locate all of its files without needing any information to be set in
-  the environment or the registry, although such settings will still
-  be obeyed if present.  This is convenient for running Emacs on a
-  machine which disallows registry changes, or on which software
-  should not be installed.  For instance, you can now run Emacs
-  directly from a CD or USB flash drive without copying or installing
-  anything on the machine itself.
-
-* Starting Emacs
-
-  To run Emacs, simply select Emacs from the Start Menu, or invoke
-  runemacs.exe directly from Explorer or from a command prompt.  This
-  will start Emacs in its default GUI mode, ready to use.  If you have
-  never used Emacs before, you should follow the tutorial at this
-  point (select Emacs Tutorial from the Help menu), since Emacs is
-  quite different from ordinary Windows applications in many respects.
-
-  If you want to use Emacs in tty or character mode within a command
-  window, you can start it by typing "emacs -nw" at the command prompt.
-  (Obviously, you need to ensure that the Emacs bin subdirectory is in
-  your PATH first, or specify the path to emacs.exe.)  The -nw
-  (non-windowed) mode of operation is most useful if you have a telnet
-  server on your machine, allowing you to run Emacs remotely.
-
-* EXE files included
-
-  Emacs comes with the following executable files in the bin directory.
-
-  + emacs.exe - The main Emacs executable.  As this is designed to run
-    as both a text-mode application (emacs -nw) and as a GUI application,
-    it will pop up a command prompt window if run directly from Explorer.
-
-  + runemacs.exe - A wrapper for running Emacs as a GUI application
-    without popping up a command prompt window.
-
-  + emacsclient.exe - A command-line client program that can
-    communicate with a running Emacs process.  See the `Emacs Server'
-    node of the Emacs manual.
-
-  + emacsclientw.exe - A version of emacsclient that does not open
-    a command-line window.
-
-  + addpm.exe - A basic installer that creates Start Menu icons for Emacs.
-    Running this is optional.
-
-  + cmdproxy.exe - Used internally by Emacs to work around problems with
-    the native shells in various versions of Windows.
-
-  + ctags.exe, etags.exe - Tools for generating tag files.  See the
-    `Tags' node of the Emacs manual.
-
-  + ebrowse.exe - A tool for generating C++ browse information.  See the
-    `Ebrowse' manual.
-
-  + ddeclient.exe - A tool for interacting with DDE servers.
-
-  + hexl.exe - A tool for converting files to hex dumps.  See the
-    `Editing Binary Files' node of the Emacs manual.
-
-  + movemail.exe - A helper application for safely moving mail from
-    a mail spool or POP server to a local user mailbox.  See the
-    `Movemail' node of the Emacs manual.
-
-  + digest-doc.exe, sorted-doc.exe - Tools for rebuilding the
-    built-in documentation.
-
-* Image support
-
-  Emacs has built in support for XBM and PPM/PGM/PBM images, and the
-  libXpm library is bundled, providing XPM support (required for color
-  toolbar icons and splash screen).  Source for libXpm should be available
-  on the same place as you got this binary distribution from.  The version
-  of libXpm bundled with this version of Emacs is 3.5.7, based on x.org's
-  libXpm library from X11R7.3.
-
-  Emacs can also support some other image formats with appropriate
-  libraries.  These libraries are all available as part of GTK, or from
-  gnuwin32.sourceforge.net.  Emacs will find them if the directory they
-  are installed in is on the PATH.
-
-      PNG: requires the PNG reference library 1.2 or later, which will
-      be named libpng13d.dll, libpng13.dll, libpng12d.dll, libpng12.dll
-      or libpng.dll.  LibPNG requires zlib, which should come from the same
-      source as you got libpng.
-
-      JPEG: requires the Independant JPEG Group's libjpeg 6b or later,
-      which will be called jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, jpeg-62.dll or jpeg.dll.
-
-      TIFF: requires libTIFF 3.0 or later, which will be called libtiff3.dll
-      or libtiff.dll.
-
-      GIF: requires libungif or giflib 4.1 or later, which will be
-      called giflib4.dll, libungif4.dll or libungif.dll.
-
-   In addition, Emacs can be compiled to support SVG.  This precompiled
-   distribution has not been compiled that way, since the SVG library
-   or one or more of its extensive dependencies appear to be
-   unreliable under Windows.  See nt/INSTALL in the src distribution if
-   you wish to compile Emacs with SVG support.
-
-* Uninstalling Emacs
-
-  If you should need to uninstall Emacs, simply delete all the files
-  and subdirectories from the directory where it was unpacked (Emacs
-  does not install or update any files in system directories or
-  anywhere else).  If you ran the addpm.exe program to create the
-  registry entries and the Start menu icon, then you can remove the
-  registry entries using regedit.  All of the settings are written
-  under the Software\GNU\Emacs key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, or if you
-  didn't have administrator privileges when you installed, the same
-  key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.  Just delete the whole Software\GNU\Emacs
-  key.
-
-  The Start menu entry can be removed by right-clicking on the Task bar
-  and selecting Properties, then using the Remove option on the Start
-  Menu Programs page.  (If you installed under an account with
-  administrator privileges, then you need to click the Advanced button
-  and look for the Gnu Emacs menu item under All Users.)
-
-* Troubleshooting
-
-  Unpacking the distributions
-
-  If you encounter trouble trying to run Emacs, there are a number of
-  possible causes.  Check the following for indications that the
-  distribution was not corrupted by the tools used to unpack it:
-
-    * Be sure to disable CR/LF translation or the executables will
-      be unusable.  Older versions of WinZipNT would enable this
-      translation by default.  If you are using WinZipNT, disable it.
-      (I don't have WinZipNT myself, and I do not know the specific
-      commands necessary to disable it.)
-
-    * Check that filenames were not truncated to 8.3.  For example,
-      there should be a file lisp\abbrevlist.elc; if this has been
-      truncated to abbrevli.elc, your distribution has been corrupted
-      while unpacking and Emacs will not start.
-
-  If you believe you have unpacked the distributions correctly and are
-  still encountering problems, see the section on Further Information
-  below.
-
-  Virus scanners
-
-  Some virus scanners interfere with Emacs' use of subprocesses.  If you
-  are unable to use subprocesses and you use Dr. Solomon's WinGuard or
-  McAfee's Vshield, turn off "Scan all files" (WinGuard) or "boot sector
-  scanning" (McAfee exclusion properties).
-
-* Further information
-
-  If you have access to the World Wide Web, I would recommend pointing
-  your favorite web browser to the following document (if you haven't
-  already):
-
-	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/
-
-  This document serves as an FAQ and a source for further information
-  about the Windows port and related software packages.
-
-  In addition to the FAQ, there is a mailing list for discussing issues
-  related to the Windows port of Emacs.  For information about the
-  list, see this Web page:
-
-	http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows
-
-  To ask questions on the mailing list, send email to
-  help-emacs-windows@gnu.org.  (You don't need to subscribe for that.)
-  To subscribe to the list or unsubscribe from it, fill the form you
-  find at http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows as
-  explained there.
-
-  Another valuable source of information and help which should not be
-  overlooked is the various Usenet news groups dedicated to Emacs.
-  These are particularly good for help with general issues which aren't
-  specific to the Windows port of Emacs.  The main news groups to use
-  for seeking help are:
-
-	gnu.emacs.help
-	comp.emacs
-
-  There are also fairly regular postings and announcements of new or
-  updated Emacs packages on this group:
-
-	gnu.emacs.sources
-
-* Reporting bugs
-
-  If you encounter a bug in this port of Emacs, we would like to hear
-  about it.  First check the FAQ on the web page above to see if the bug
-  is already known and if there are any workarounds.  Then check whether
-  the bug has something to do with code in your .emacs file, e.g. by
-  invoking Emacs with the "-Q" option.
-
-  If you decide that it is a bug in Emacs, use the built in bug
-  reporting facility to report it (from the menu; Help -> Send Bug Report).
-  If you have not yet configured Emacs for mail, then when you press
-  C-c C-c to send the report, it will ask you to paste the text of the
-  report into your mail client.  If the bug is related to subprocesses,
-  also specify which shell you are using (e.g., include the values of
-  `shell-file-name' and `explicit-shell-file-name' in your message).
-
-  Enjoy!
