Well tell your emacs people that they'll just have to download the same way we all do. If they want a pretty package, they can use Xemacs. Is the install really that big for emacs people? After all, if you want simplicity, use vi. It only requires terminfo, ash, and the cygwin.dll. The point is that this has been discussed to death and it was decided [not by me] that oficially nothing different will be done at this time. You are welcome to host your own web page with a custom install, though. Cheers, Nicholas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
