The overhead wrt to AUCTeX (~3 MB) is negligible in case you don't use AUCTeX. Cannot get to this by http. And I can't get to it using ftp site from behind a firewall. IIRC Drew Adams uploads binaries No, that's Lennart Borgman, not I. I'm *looking* for a recent MS-Windows binary. to . Yes (thanks Lennart!), but I'm not sure how "vanilla" those binaries are. I, for instance, am looking for the kind of thing I can get at nqmacs - nothing added, no installer, no changes to my machine, no predetermination of directories, no built-in use of gnuserver/gnuclient, just a simple zip file of everything Emacs, including source code and a MS-Windows executable. Then there are at least two projects on sourceforge.net (ntemacs, nqmacs). Very old binaries, unfortunately. If there is a need for more frequently updated binaries (say weekly), they should be places on alpha.gnu.org, e.g. in /gnu/emacs/windows/. Cannot get to alpha.gnu.org via http.
