What is the "best" way to use emacs as a (La)TeX editor in windows operating systems? Besides auc-tex and preview-latex that are indispensable, I would also like whizzytex to be available. Preferably I would like a binary of emacs that is easy to install even for people that have not much experience with windows (like me). Also, which TeX distribution for windows do you think is best? I am trying to promote the use of emacs as the LaTeX editor of choice to a group of more or less "computer illiterate" people that treat "windows" and "computers" more or less as synonyms. So I want to be able to set up an impressive presentation that will convince them for the power of emacs, hopefully without scaring them too much. Any help will greatly be appreciated. -- There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; what is national is no longer science. -- Anton Checov
