Thanks, Stephe, I downloaded emacs-21.3.tar.gz . The Readme for Ver. 21.3,
Jan 27, 2004, suggests that djtarnt.exe can be used in place of using both
gunzip.exe and tar.exe, to unpack the file. I was unable to reach the
/utilities site at gnu (505) to download djtarnt.exe, but did find it at
another site. When I try to apply djtarnt.exe to the emacs file, it does
not completely unpack but leaves the file emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar . This
suggests that there is still another step required to read the .tar file.
What am I missing? Fletcher
