I am trying to move from ver 24 to 25. I have an emacs.exe file in my
version 24.3 bin directory
03/17/2013 14:52 9,055,614 emacs.exe
(working now for almost two years)
and 2 .exe files in my new version 25.3 bin directory:
09/26/2017 16:04 99,358,230 emacs-25.3.exe
09/26/2017 16:04 99,358,230 emacs.exe
These were extracted using 7-zip without any problem but they seem too
large by a factor of 10.
They are from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ and from the 25.3_1
zip file. I don't know how to use gpg so I didn't check my download with
the .sig file.
Also the directory structure is different in this new emacs version. Is
this what it should look like?:
bin:
09/26/2017 15:59 2,377,025 addpm.exe
09/26/2017 16:04 2,549,713 ctags.exe
09/26/2017 16:04 1,952,311 ebrowse.exe

09/26/2017 16:04 2,528,894 etags.exe
09/26/2017 16:04 77,744 libXpm-noX4.dll
09/26/2017 15:59 1,760,768 runemacs.exe
10 File(s) 214,513,789 bytes
\libexec\emacs\25.3\x86_64-w64-mingw32:

8 File(s) 10,092,759 bytes
and then share and var subdirectories at the same level with a lot of
deeply buried files.
My question is whether I can expect ver 25.3_1 to work if I just
incorporate all the new stuff into my old emacs directory structure:

remain there unchanged?
Thanks for any help.

p.s. Why are there two identical emacs.exe files in \bin with different
names?
