The EFS maintainer is away at the moment, but I'm sure he'll apply it just as soon as he's back, if he thinks it's worth it. In the meantime, for those people who are unfortunate enough to be stuck with using Windows, you can download and install the pre-release packages manually. 1) Connect to ftp.xemacs.org using your favourite FTP client.[1] 2) Change to the /pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/ directory. 3) Download the packages you want. 4) Unpack them to <emacs-roots>/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ Footnotes: [1] Heck, you can even use, <shudder>, Internet Exploder.
