If you want to redistribute any of the precompiled distributions of

|

Emacs is distributed primarily as source code in a large gzipped tar file
|
||||
(*.tar.gz). Because Emacs is quite large and therefore difficult to
|
||||
download over unreliable connections, it is provided in several
|
||||
combinations, ranging from the complete source plus executables, to
|
||||
just the minimal amount needed to run without any source, plus a
|
||||
couple of optional packages. Here are the combinations (i386 in the
|
||||
name indicates a tarball contains executables compiled for
|

Intel-compatible x86 systems):

|

in several combinations, ranging from the complete source plus executables,
|

to just the minimal amount needed to run without any source, plus a

couple of optional packages. Formerly, we used the same .tar.gz format
|
||||
but since there are no longer legal problems with .zip files, and the
|
||||
latest versions of Windows support these natively, the Windows binaries
|
||||
of Emacs are now distributed as .zip files.
|
||||
Here are the combinations (i386 in the name indicates a zipfile contains
|
||||
executables compiled for Intel-compatible x86 systems):
|
||||
|
||||
+ Primary precompiled distribution, including lisp source:
|
||||
|
||||
emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
+ Minimal precompiled distribution, which excludes lisp source:

|

You can download emacs-21.3-lisp.tar.gz to get the lisp source, if
|

you later decide you want it - it is useful for understanding how

packages work, and how they can best be setup or customized.

* Distributions for non-x86 platforms
|
||||
|
||||
Distributions for non-x86 platforms are no longer supplied. Older
|
||||
platforms supported by Windows NT no longer seem to be in demand,
|
||||
and Emacs is yet to be ported to 64bit Windows platforms. If you are

willing to help port Emacs to 64bit versions of Windows, your
