Thanks, Vin. Here is what I find.
1. Paren-highlighting does not work in the various flavors of 21.5.34 .
2. Paren-highlighting works fine in 21.5.29.
Exactly where should I get the build instructions for native X86 binary ? Can these build
instructions be ported to a more recent VS version ?
BTW, I just learned that "Visual Studio Community 2013" is a full-featured
visual studio that is made available FREE by Microsoft starting Nov 2014.

Can the native binary build process be ported to VS Community 2013 ? I am willing to help,
if I can be of any help. For example, if you can give me a set of reasonable build
instructions, I can try to run through it and report any problems back to you to clean up
the process.
Thanks,Biswajit

Biswajit -
Does
http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5.34.exe
(or
http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5-2015-05-18.exe)
work for you?
The instructions (based on the non-free Visual Studio 6 - what're you
staring at? It was released in 1998!) work for me. If someone wants
to update the instructions, patches will be reviewed and approved. :-)
Regards,
Vin

Vin had made an experimental 21.5.34 innosetup build for me, back in
2014.
I have been using it since. I have not seen any issues yet, other than that
paren-highlighting does not seem to work.
Would it be possible to fix this, and release an official 21.5.34 beta
innosetup build ?
There was one more request from me at the time - to dust off the build
instructions for a native X86 build using free tools (including free
versions of Microsoft tools), so that people can download and build binaries
easily. May I raise the same request again ?
Thanks a lot.

Dear XEmacs Developers,
I recently got a large roundtuit dropped in my lap (my startup company
imploded), so I've spent a few days working on XEmacs native Windows
setup kits.

Your assumption is correct, but I am the only someone who builds these
kits. I will try to make a setup kit for every release, but it is
difficult for me to know how much time I will have for making setup
kits in between releases.

Dear Biswajit - thank you for your kind words. They certainly made me
feel like my efforts in this area have been well worthwhile.
I have re-made setup kits for 21.4.22, 21.5.34 and 21.4 latest and
21.5 latest. I will upload them this afternoon to
ftp.xemacs.org.
I will be sending a small patch to XEmacs-patches to work around a
couple of difficulties building without TLS on native Windows. I have
not attempted to build with TLS as of yet.
- Vin
