+                          Emacs for Windows
+ 
+ This README file describes how to dump a bare precompiled version of GNU
+ Emacs for Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 95/98/Me.  This distribution
+ supplements the standard dumped precompiled distribution of Emacs, which
+ you can download from:
+ 
+       ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/
+ 
+ If you do not have the "bin" distribution, then you will need to
+ download it before you can use this undumped version.  Also note that
+ you should only need to dump Emacs yourself if you want to dump Emacs
+ with more elisp files than are included normally, or to rebuild Emacs
+ after patching one of the elisp files that is preloaded.
+ 
+ The dumping process consists of running a bare Emacs, loading up a
+ number of general elisp files, and then creating a new Emacs executable
+ preinitialized and ready to run.  In the precompiled distributions,
+ Emacs has already been dumped with the standard configuration.
+ 
+ To dump Emacs, unpack this distribution into the directory created by
+ unpacking the corresponding standard precompiled distribution.  To
+ verify that you unpacked in the proper place, check to make sure that
+ you now have a temacs.exe file in the bin directory.
+ 
+ Once you have unpacked this distribution, cd into the bin directory and
+ run dump.bat.  This will produce a new bin\emacs.exe executable for you
+ to use (the original one is renamed to emacs.exe.orig; this is not
+ overwritten if you run dump more than once).
+ 
+ For more information about running Emacs, read the README.W32 file that
+ came with the standard dumped precompiled distribution.  If you have
+ problems with Emacs, including problems with dumping, send email to
+ "address@hidden".
+ 
+ Enjoy!
