If so thank you! I recently convinced the nice IT admin to install Emacs on my Windows work PC on which I have zero fun rights. So far, it has been working great in that it makes it somewhat bearable to use a Windows PC. If possible, I might humbly request three other dependencies be included in the future. - zip.exe and unzip.exe (Info-Zip, I guess) are used when exporting ODT documents with Org and would be nice to include. - spellcheckers like hunspell and maybe aspell would be really, really nice to have! It’s admittedly a very soft dependency, but at least when you rely on Windows IT Admins, they get a bit confused when you first send them to the hunspell github page, only to tell them that the binary version can be gotten from Eli’s Sourceforge page... Thanks, Rasmus -- Don't panic!!!
