If You are using ms windows and would like to try I would be glad. You can find it through EmacsWiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit As I have previously said this can be done with your current installation of Emacs. In fact that is what you have to do at the moment, since I do not provide the version that includes Emacs itself for download. I have rewritten much and tried to follow the remarks and intentions I have found here on the developers list. I have now tried to make minimal deviation from a "default Emacs installation" (a thing that actually does not exist on MS Windows at the moment since you have to do some things after unpacking Emacs to get it working!). Please however notice the following: 1) I append some lines to site-start.el. These loads a file that adds an entry to the menus: "Options - Options Related to W32 Feeling". 2) Gnuserv is started automatically if you start Emacs with the command file emacs.cmd (written at installation) or from Windows Explorer (some of the short cuts added).
