This is probably just the source files; note that official distribution file names have at least the version in them, so either you are quoting the file name incompletely, or you got it from an unofficial place. You could compile from source, but there's no need. The binary (executable) distribution file is emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz available here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows and from mirrors. -- -- Stephe
