    If you want to redistribute any of the precompiled distributions of

    If you would like to compile Emacs from source, download the source
    distribution, unpack it in the same manner as a precompiled
    distribution, and look in the file nt/INSTALL for detailed directions.
!   Note, though, that you must have a Microsoft compiler to compile the
!   source.  (Support for compiling with gcc 2.95 or later will be
!   available in a future release.)
  
  
  * Further information
  
!   There is a web page that serves as a FAQ at:
  
        http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html
