Greetings - ftp.xemacs.org has a new windows native setup kit for XEmacs 21.5! The kit is available from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs%20Setup%2021.5-b25... This kit is a test version based on a snapshot of the XEmacs 21.5 source tree as it currently exists in CVS. The kit includes a significant number of packages and allows the user to choose among them at the time of installation. Also, this setup kit warns the user if EMACSPACKAGEPATH is set in the Windows registry (both the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER hierarchies are checked) and allows the user the option of deleting EMACSPACKAGEPATH from the registry. Here are the contents of the ReadME-21.5-b25 file: March 20, 2006 Thank you for downloading and installing this setup kit for XEmacs 21.5-b25. XEmacs-21.5 is software under development. Please do not use this software unless you are prepared to experience and report bugs. The 21.4 releases of XEmacs are more stable and are better suited to the less adventurous in the user population. This setup kit can be installed alongside a 21.4 installation; by default the 2 setup kits will install to %Program Files%\XEmacs and they will share packages. One significant difference between the two kits is that the 21.5 kit supports MULE. (Refer to http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/xemacs-faq.html#SEC65 for more details on MULE.) This setup kit includes the following packages which are optionally installed: auctex, bbdb, c-support, calc, cc-mode, debug, dired, ecb, ecrypto, edebug, ediff, edit-utils, efs, eieio, elib, emerge, eshell, footnote, fortran-modes, fsf-compat, gnus, hm--html-menus, ibuffer, igrep, ispell, jde, latin-euro-standards, latin-unity, locale, lookup, mail-lib, mailcrypt, mh-e, mmm-mode, mule-base, net-utils, os-utils, pc, pcl-cvs, pcomplete, perl-modes, prog-modes, ps-print, psgml, psgml-dtds, python-modes, re-builder, reftex, ruby-modes, sasl, scheme, semantic, sgml, sh-script, sieve, sounds-wav, speedbar, supercite, texinfo, text-modes, textools, time, tramp, vc, vc-cc, vhdl, viper, vm, w3, x-symbol, xemacs-base, xemacs-devel, xetla, xslide, and xslt-process. Refer to the XEmacs Quickstart Package Guide - http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html#Installing_automati... - for information on installing further XEmacs packages to extend the editor's functionality. This kit now gives the user a chance to delete the EMACSPACKAGEPATH key, which is no longer necessary and will cause XEmacs not to find its installed packages at runtime. This kit was built with Inno Setup, see http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php for details on Inno Setup. Regards, Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt;
