Installing MSYS takes about 5 minutes. Anyway, to get full benefit of Emacs and AUCTeX, you'd want to use a developer version of Emacs like <URL:http://crasseux.com/emacs>. There is a complete XEmacs/TeX/AUCTeX/preview-latex bundle called XEmTeX available as well (Google for it). Personally, I don't particularly like XEmacs, and the Windows version in XEmTeX is likely to be non-MULE (at least if it is 21.4), meaning that it won't get along with utf-8. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
