hmm, i don't think its an issue of "newbie"-ness... its more one of "not wanting to do"-ness. my friend is very experienced with emacs, windows and LaTeX and simply wants a bundled package which will get her system working the way the SUNs do at her work desktop (set up by an admin). there should be no need to manually install any other GNU packages or frameworks such as cygwin. such packages like this exist for OS X, and i am surprised that no such package exists for GNU Emacs! possibly the oldest program i know of. i'd thought maybe someone had compiled GNU Emacs CVS for windows and ispell and added a bunch of useful packages (like AucTeX) and set them up for a default Windows machine (i.e. all the AucTeX stuff pointing to the usual location for a MiKTeX install etc)... then put the zip-file (preferably a self extracting exe, but def NOT a tarball as most windows machines do not handle them) on some webspace. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
