Greetings -

ftp.xemacs.org has a new windows native setup kit for XEmacs 21.4! 
The kit is available from

ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.19-4.exe

This kit is a test version that includes more packages than were
available in the official 21.4.19 release kit and allows the user the
choice of which packages to install.  Also, this setup kit warns the
user if EMACSPACKAGEPATH is set in the Windows registry (both the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER hierarchies are checked) and
allows the user the option of deleting EMACSPACKAGEPATH.  In addition,
there are a small number of patches which will eventually appear in
the XEmacs 21.4.20 release.

Here are the contents of the ReadME-21.4.19 file:

Thank you for downloading and installing this setup kit for
XEmacs 21.4.19.

This setup kit includes the following packages which are optionally
installed: auctex, bbdb, c-support, calc, cc-mode, debug, dired, ecb,
ecrypto, edebug, ediff, edit-utils, efs, eieio, elib, emerge, eshell,
footnote, fortran-modes, fsf-compat, gnus, hm--html-menus, ibuffer,
igrep, ispell, jde, latin-euro-standards, latin-unity, locale, lookup,
mail-lib, mailcrypt, mh-e, mmm-mode, mule-base, net-utils, os-utils,
pc, pcl-cvs, pcomplete, perl-modes, prog-modes, ps-print, psgml,
psgml-dtds, python-modes, re-builder, reftex, ruby-modes, sasl,
scheme, semantic, sgml, sh-script, sieve, sounds-wav, speedbar,
supercite, texinfo, text-modes, textools, time, tramp, vc, vc-cc,
vhdl, viper, vm, w3, x-symbol, xemacs-base, xemacs-devel, xetla,
xslide, and xslt-process.

Refer to the online XEmacs Package documentation -
http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/packages.html - for information on
installing further XEmacs packages to extend the editor's
functionality.

This kit now gives the user a chance to delete the EMACSPACKAGEPATH key,
which is no longer necessary and will cause XEmacs not to find its
installed packages at runtime.

WARNING: due to a bug in the uninistall script, if you have both
XEmacs 21.4 and 21.5 installed, and you choose to uninstall one of
the kits, BOTH 21.4 and 21.5 will be uninstalled from your computer.

This kit was built with Inno Setup, see http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
for details on Inno Setup.
