User-agent: Gnus/5.0808 (Gnus v5.8.8) Emacs/20.7

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.emacs.announce,gnu.emacs.help,comp.emacs as well.

The precompiled Windows distribution of GNU Emacs 21.1 is now available.
It can be found at

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/latest

and on the mirrors of that site.  Please see the following document for
more information on obtaining and installing Emacs 21.1:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/README

Also, please note that the MS Windows port of Emacs does not have
support for inline images, tool bars, tooltips, or sound in this
release.  Most other new features are available.

Enjoy!
