------- and on sunday, 7sept08:



The point is that, when user goes to your site,
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html
she can immediately get the idea that this is a pre-compiled emacs
distro for Windows with ease to use in mind. Then, she can click on
the big download button to try it out. If she's a tech geeker, she can
easily check whether there's patch she can dowload, or other info.

Aquamac or Carbon Emacs' website are good examples of this approach.

Just look at the structure. I think you can guess what is going on from 
that.

Thanks, but I have struggled quite a bit with that one. There has been a 
lot of misunderstandings and because of that I prefer Emacs+EmacsW32.

You mean the page

   http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/Emacs.html

Yes, it is out of sync so to say now. Thanks.

That is, are these things ok to use, or do you still
have some things that NEED (BADLY NEED) to be done?


Thanks,
