When I open it using Iceows I get emacs-20.7.tar and when I open that file using Iceows I get 2,051 files totalling 52.1 MB. After selecting them all and attempting to extract it goes so slowly that it is not practical to do. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? How long should it take to extract emacs from the windows binary? Thanks in advance, Marty -- SIMPL WebSite Creation: http://face2interface.com/Home/Demo.shtml
