    				OEMACS
    		       Release 4.1 (BETA RELEASE)
    			    August 22, 1993

         This file describes the .zip files that comprise OEmacs Release
    4.1, and the minimal set of .zip files required for use with plain
    MSDOS, Windows, or DESQview/X.  Oemacs Release 4.1 is a version of GNU
    Emacs V19.19 that works under plain MSDOS, Windows, or DESQview/X.

         Note that all of the .zip files were created using the new pkzip
    2.0 format.  As a result, you cannot use old versions of pkunzip or
    unzip to extract the files in these archives.  You must use an unzip
    program that understands the new pkzip 2.0 format.

         The complete OEmacs Release 4.1 distribution consists of the
    following files (a description of each is given below):

    	elisp201.zip
    	go32oe2.zip
    	oe41el1.zip
    	oe41el2.zip
    	oe41el3.zip
    	oe41gbin.zip
    	oe41info.zip
    	oe41min.zip
    	oe41src1.zip
    	oe41src2.zip
    	oe41src3.zip
    	oe41wbin.zip
    	oe41xbin.zip

         elisp201.zip
    	V19 Emacs-lisp programmer's manual.  Basically, the same thing
    	as the .tar.gz version, but with .dvi, .aux, etc. files deleted
    	(the .tex files are still present, however).
    	***** IMPORTANT NOTE: Previous versions of this file contained a
    	version-specific pathname.  This is no longer true.  As a
    	result, you must explicitly set the value of
    	`Info-directory-list" to contain the name of the directory with
    	these info files.
         go32oe2.zip
    	Sources & executables for the special GO32 needed for OEmacs.
    	Note that each of the DJGCC, WATCOM, & DV/X binary distributions
    	comes with a GO32 binary; this .zip file is needed only by those
    	who want sources to GO32, or by those who want a debug32.exe
    	that works with OEmacs.
         oe41el1.zip
         oe41el2.zip
         oe41el3.zip
    	All .el and .elc files.
         oe41gbin.zip
    	DJGPP-compiled binaries.
         oe41info.zip
    	On-line documentation.  This basically contains all of the files
    	in the "emacs-19.19/info" directory.
         oe41min.zip
    	This contains a "MINIMUM" set of files for OEmacs, not including
    	binaries.  This .zip file contains files that are duplicated in
    	other .zip files.  In addition to this file, a minimum
    	installation requires a .zip file containing binaries.  This
    	file contains only a minimum set of files; if you want full
    	functionality for emacs, you also need to obtain the following
    	files:

    		oe41el1.zip
    		oe41el2.zip
    		oe41el3.zip
    		oe41info.zip

    	Note that oe41min.zip contains duplicate files (files that are
    	in other .zip archives).  This is normal, and any "duplicate"
    	files should be identical.
         oe41src1.zip
         oe41src2.zip
         oe41src3.zip
    	This .zip file contains the files in "emacs-19.19/src",
    	"emacs-19.19/etc", "emacs-19.19/man", etc..  It basically
    	contains everything but .el and .elc files, and those files in
    	"emacs-19.19/info".
         oe41wbin.zip
    	WATCOM C/386-compiled binaries (etags.exe was compiled using
    	DJGPP, however).
         oe41xbin.zip
    	DV/X binaries.

         OEmacs Release 4.1 contains different versions of the "Emacs" binary:

    * An MSDOS binary compiled using DJGPP:
    	Advantage:	Starts up very fast.
    	Advantage:	Runs under plain MSDOS or within a Windows DOS
    			box.
    	Disadvantage:	Requires a numeric coprocessor to run within
    			Windows.
    	Disadvantage:	Shelling to DOS takes a long time.
    	Disadvantage:	Needs more memory to run under Windows.

    	Minimally required files:
    		oe41gbin.zip
    		oe41min.zip

    	You need at least 3MB of free disk space to install this
    	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
    	your hard disk.

    	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.

    * A binary compiled using WATCOM C/386 9.01E:
    	Advantage:	Does not require a numeric coprocessor to run
    			within Windows.
    	Advantage:	Shelling to DOS is fast.
    	Advantage:	Runs under plain MSDOS or within a Windows DOS
    			box.
    	Disadvantage:	Takes a while to start up (about 20 seconds on a
    			33MHz 486DX).
    	Disadvantage:	Uses much more disk space than the other
    			versions (14MB vs 3MB).

    	Minimally required files:
    		oe41wbin.zip
    		oe41min.zip
    		oe41el1.zip
    		oe41el2.zip
    		oe41el3.zip

    	You need at least 14MB of free disk space to install this
    	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
    	your hard disk.

    	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.

    * A DESQview/X binary compiled using DJGPP:
    	Advantage:	Starts up very fast.
    	Advantage:	Can display multiple X-windows (frames).
    	Disadvantage:	Does not work under plain MSDOS or Windows.

    	Minimally required files:
    		oe41xbin.zip
    		oe41min.zip

    	You need at least 3MB of free disk space to install this
    	version.  The exact amount depends on the cluster size used on
    	your hard disk.

    	See the file called "install.dos" for installation instructions.

         If you want to recompile OEmacs, you will need all of the
    non-binary .zip files, with the exception of "elisp201.zip" (which you
    do not need if you want to recompile OEmacs).
