trouble getting started with binary distribution
The FAQ said to post this to xemacs-beta-request, but that alias
does not seem to exist. I apologize for posting the list directly.
...
Can you please direct me to the appropriate INSTALL or README.INSTALL?
I downloaded Xemacs 20 from the ftp site and WinZip7.0 extracted it
into c:\bin\Xemacs. I can't get it to start. I've been thru the FAQ.
The backgraound of this is that I am a long time emacs and gnuemacs user
and am wanting to try out Xemacs to see which I like best. I currently
have NtEmacs installed and running (I have clipped in the 'set' output
following the command line output.

Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the XEmacs executable,
/bin/Xemacs/bin/i686-pc-cygwin32/xemacs.exe
is in a strange place?
