There's an emacs that you can get via cygwin -- at least for me, it really sucks! Small window, impossible to go full-screen, plus lots of problems. But NTEMACS (the NT means the ancient "windows NT", the first windows os that you could get things like emacs to work on) -- apparently it's a *separate* emacs, specially hacked (not just compiled) for windows. After using the cygwin-emacs for a while (very, very unfriendly, especially the ungrowable window it worked in), I tried NTemacs -- WOW! Couldn't tell the difference emacs there and on a REAL computer-and-os! What a wonderful, wonderful discovery! David
