Re: XEmacs win32 netinstaller

Hello Toby, sorry for the delay in answering. webmaster(a)xemacs.org is the right address to report problems with the website itself (broken URLs, incorrect, incomplete, or confusing content). Please turn to the mailing lists advertized in http://www.xemacs.org/Debug/index.html for help configuring, compiling and using XEmacs. Please always specify the version of XEmacs you are using and the configuration (M-x describe-installation). You may just submit an XEmacs bug report. This will include all the required information about your XEmacs installation automatically. It will also ask you to ... Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time.
