This port supports all of the major +functionality of the Unix version, including subprocesses, windowing +features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple frames, etc.), and +networking support. + +Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to + + ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/latest + +for the latest precompiled distributions. + +* Preliminaries + +To compile Emacs, you will need a Microsoft C compiler package. For +NT, this can be any of the SDK compilers from NT 3.1 and up, Microsoft +Visual C++ for NT (versions 1.0 and up), or Microsoft Visual C++ +(versions 2.0 and up). For Windows 95, this can be Microsoft Visual +C++ versions 2.0 and up. + +* Building and installing + +See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on +building and installing Emacs on your system. + +* Further information + +If you have access to the World Wide Web, I would recommend pointing +your favorite web browser to the document (if you haven't already): + + http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html + +This web document serves as a FAQ and a source for further information +about the port and related software packages. + +There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this +port of Emacs. For information about the list, send a message to +ntemacs-users-request@cs.washington.edu with the word "info" in the +*body* of the message. To subscribe to the list, send a message to +the same address with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message; +similarly, to unsubscribe from the list, send a message with the word +"unsubscribe" in the message body. + +You are also always welcome to send me mail directly. If you don't +hear from me immediately, however, don't worry; it sometimes takes me +a few days (or longer) to get to all of my mail regarding Emacs. + +* Reporting bugs + +If you encounter bugs in this port of Emacs, first check the FAQ on +the web page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are +any workarounds. If not, then I would like to hear about it; either +send a bug report to the mailing list, or to me directly (I would +recommend sending to the list first). + +Enjoy. + +-geoff +(voelker@cs.washington.edu)
