Yes, this is where you should start. You really have a point here, it should
have been easier to find the useful information. I did rewrote the second
one (http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html) after reading your
critic. Where to download and what is available at the moment should be much
more clear now I hope.


There are however reasons for the web page structures:

1) I wanted to have a home page for Emacs Setup Utilities.
2) I also wanted a wiki page.
3) I thought these should linke to each other (that is of course circular
references - but it is useful I believe).
4) The web pages with the documentation are the same as those contained in
the files you can download. I have not found any way other than including a
link to the wiki page to tigh them into the structure.
5) I have no definite home for the web pages yet.

Suggestions are welcome!

Please try again! There is yet no version including Emacs but I hope to
provide one very soon.


Kind regards,
