Win95 != WinNT, so I'm not sure if my setup will work for you.

Make sure you're running Win32 Emacs 20.3.1
(http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html)

Download pgnus (http://www.gnus.org/pgnus.tar.gz).

Then I run a cygwin32 bash shell to get into an environment something
like Unix (http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/).

Untar rgnus (tar xzf rgnus.tar.gz), then build it according to the
instructions (./configure; make).  I don't bother installing it with
"make install."

Then add lines like this to your .emacs:

;; pgnus
(let ((prefix "~/Emacs/pgnus-0.31"))
  (add-to-list 'load-path (concat prefix "/lisp"))
  (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list (concat prefix "/texi")))

Next time you run emacs, M-x gnus should run rgnus.


Hope this helps.
