this software comes from june.cs.washington.edu in /pub/ntemacs

This directory contains a port of GNU Emacs to Microsoft Windows NT.
It is known to run on Intel x86, MIPS R4000, and DEC Alpha AXP
architectures .

software versions:
emacs v19.17
gzip v1.2.4
tar v1.11.2

UNPACKING EMACS:

the emacs is tarred and gzipped.  use the gzip and tar
executables (included) to untar and ungzip.
(use "gzip -d <file>.gz" and "tar xvf <file>.tar").

Since GNU Tar and Gzip
don't seem to be widely distributed yet, they are also available here.
Executables for these programs can be found in the appropriate machine
subdirectory; sources are in src subdirectory.  (Note that gzip was
compiled right out of the package, but that tar needed changes.)

For those unfamiliar with gzip and tar: 

Gzip is a compression program, taking as input one file and
compressing its contents (gunzip reverses the process).  Simply use
"gunzip <file>.gz" to decompress the file.

Tar is an archive program (it's name is a shortened form of "tape
archive").  To extract the contents of a tar file, use "tar xvf
<file>.tar".  The "f" tells tar that it is handling a file (instead of
magnetic tape), the "x" tells tar to extract the contents, and "v"
tells tar to be verbose and report everything it extracts.

Since gzip works on one file, the typical process is to tar a
directory tree and then gzip it; unpackaging it is the reverse
process (using gzunip).

Note that, when these packages are opened, you must do so on a non-FAT
filesystem (HPFS or NTFS).

AFTER UNPACKING:

Once unpacked, read the files README.NT and INSTALL.NT to build and
install Emacs.  As far as disk space goes, on the mips installation
the build tree requires ~27 MBytes of disk space.  If you install in
the same directory, add ~3 MBytes; if you install in another
directory, add ~16 MBytes.

For those without a C compiler, the executables built in the Emacs
distribution can be found in the appropriate machine directories.  You
still need the main Emacs distribution for the lisp files, etc.
Unpack the executables in the same directory and in the same manner
that you unpack the main distribution.  Then look under INSTALL ONLY
in INSTALL.NT.

If you have trouble installing it on your system, let me know.

Thanks to Drew Bliss for the port of GNU Tar, and Benn Schreiber
for providing the DEC Alpha AXP executables.
