				OEMACS
		       Release 4.1 (BETA RELEASE)
			    August 22, 1993


     This file describes the .zip files that comprise OEmacs Release
4.1, and the minimal set of .zip files required for use with plain
MSDOS, Windows, or DESQview/X.  Oemacs Release 4.1 is a version of GNU
Emacs V19.19 that works under plain MSDOS, Windows, or DESQview/X.

     Note that all of the .zip files were created using the new pkzip
2.0 format.  As a result, you cannot use old versions of pkunzip or
unzip to extract the files in these archives.  You must use an unzip
program that understands the new pkzip 2.0 format.

     The complete OEmacs Release 4.1 distribution consists of the
following files (a description of each is given below):

	elisp201.zip
	go32oe2.zip
	oe41el1.zip
	oe41el2.zip
	oe41el3.zip
	oe41gbin.zip
	oe41info.zip
	oe41min.zip
	oe41src1.zip
	oe41src2.zip
	oe41src3.zip
	oe41wbin.zip
	oe41xbin.zip

     elisp201.zip
	V19 Emacs-lisp programmer's manual.  Basically, the same thing
	as the .tar.gz version, but with .dvi, .aux, etc. files deleted
	(the .tex files are still present, however).
	***** IMPORTANT NOTE: Previous versions of this file contained a
	version-specific pathname.  This is no longer true.  As a
	result, you must explicitly set the value of
	`Info-directory-list" to contain the name of the directory with
	these info files.
     go32oe2.zip
	Sources & executables for the special GO32 needed for OEmacs.
	Note that each of the DJGCC, WATCOM, & DV/X binary distributions
	comes with a GO32 binary; this .zip file is needed only by those
	who want sources to GO32, or by those who want a debug32.exe
	that works with OEmacs.
     oe41el1.zip
     oe41el2.zip
     oe41el3.zip
	All .el and .elc files.
     oe41gbin.zip
	DJGPP-compiled binaries.
     oe41info.zip
	On-line documentation.  This basically contains all of the files
	in the "emacs-19.19/info" directory.
     oe41min.zip
	This contains a "MINIMUM" set of files for OEmacs, not including
	binaries.  This .zip file contains files that are duplicated in
	other .zip files.  In addition to this file, a minimum
	installation requires a .zip file containing binaries.  This
	file contains only a minimum set of files; if you want full
	functionality for emacs, you also need to obtain the following
	files:

		oe41el1.zip
		oe41el2.zip
		oe41el3.zip
		oe41info.zip

	Note that oe41min.zip contains duplicate files (files that are
	in other .zip archives).  This is normal, and any "duplicate"
	files should be identical.
     oe41src1.zip
     oe41src2.zip
     oe41src3.zip
	This .zip file contains the files in "emacs-19.19/src",
	"emacs-19.19/etc", "emacs-19.19/man", etc..  It basically
	contains everything but .el and .elc files, and those files in
	"emacs-19.19/info".
     oe41wbin.zip
	WATCOM C/386-compiled binaries (etags.exe was compiled using
	DJGPP, however).
     oe41xbin.zip
	DV/X binaries.


     OEmacs Release 4.1 contains different versions of the "Emacs" binary:

* An MSDOS binary compiled using DJGPP:
	Advantage:	Starts up very fast.
	Advantage:	Runs under plain MSDOS or within a Windows DOS
			box.
	Disadvantage:	Requires a numeric coprocessor to run within
			Windows.
	Disadvantage:	Shelling to DOS takes a long time.
	Disadvantage:	Needs more memory to run under Windows.

	Minimally required files:
		oe41gbin.zip
		oe41min.zip

	You need at least 3MB of free disk space to install this
	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
	your hard disk.

	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.


* A binary compiled using WATCOM C/386 9.01E:
	Advantage:	Does not require a numeric coprocessor to run
			within Windows.
	Advantage:	Shelling to DOS is fast.
	Advantage:	Runs under plain MSDOS or within a Windows DOS
			box.
	Disadvantage:	Takes a while to start up (about 20 seconds on a
			33MHz 486DX).
	Disadvantage:	Uses much more disk space than the other
			versions (14MB vs 3MB).

	Minimally required files:
		oe41wbin.zip
		oe41min.zip
		oe41el1.zip
		oe41el2.zip
		oe41el3.zip

	You need at least 14MB of free disk space to install this
	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
	your hard disk.

	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.

* A DESQview/X binary compiled using DJGPP:
	Advantage:	Starts up very fast.
	Advantage:	Can display multiple X-windows (frames).
	Disadvantage:	Does not work under plain MSDOS or Windows.

	Minimally required files:
		oe41xbin.zip
		oe41min.zip

	You need at least 3MB of free disk space to install this
	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
	your hard disk.

	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.


     If you want to recompile OEmacs, you will need all of the
non-binary .zip files, with the exception of "elisp201.zip" (which you
do not need if you want to recompile OEmacs).
