I am trying to install Emacs 21.2 on my laptop (running XP). I download
the .tar file, and run Winzip and unzip the files to a directory
(c:\java\emacs), but all the help I can find tells me to go to the bin
folder. My "emacs-21.2" folder that is created does not have a bin folder.
Nor does it have the "runemacs.exe" file the site I am looking at
(http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq3.html#unpack-install) tells
you to run. However, I do have a "runemacs.c" file in a folder
"emacs-21.2\nt. Opening this file brings up a text file with some comments
and what looks like executable code.
As I do not have the bin folder, I am unsure of what to do. Does anyone
have any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

You probably downloaded just the source code. It needs to be compiled
first, before you can run Emacs. On a windows system, this maybe
difficult. Best try and look for an Emacs that is already compiled
for windows.
