I am attempting to install Oort Gnus on my Windows 98 machine under XEmacs 21.1.x. I have found the make.bat and xemacs.mak files in the distribution; the former seems kludgy and specific to emacs, the latter seems to require some sort of Micro$oft product (nmake). I have found the XEmacs "package" format most excellent for this sort of thing, although I must confess I don't know much about it. So, before rolling my own: 1. Is there a XEmacs package format of the Gnus releases somewhere (I mean the new ones, not the ancient releases under the XEmacs install tree)? 2. Is there an automatic way to create a package from the distribution (nothing springs at me from the makefile)? 3. What do others do (aside from avoiding windows like the plague that it is)? Thanks. /taso
