Hi,
 
I am trying to install the emacs on my win2000 machine.  So far I run across dead-end info on your instructions.
 
The install info suggested that I will unzip with djtarnt.exe from the GNU FTP site.
 
I couldn't find such file on your site.
 
On the info on compiling Emacs :
 
            To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or later and nmake
 
I couldn't figure out what is nmake.
 
I will appreciate your help.
 
Thanks,
 
Ted Weitz
 
 
Your NT info file:

  If you used WinZip to unpack the distribution, we suggest to
  remove the files and unpack again with a different program!
  WinZip is known to create some subtle and hard to debug problems,
  such as converting files to DOS CR-LF format, not creating empty
  directories, etc.  We suggest to use djtarnt.exe from the GNU FTP
  site.
 
  To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or
  later and nmake, or a Windows port of GCC 2.95 or later with Mingw
  and W32 API support and a port of GNU make.  You can use the Cygwin
  ports of GCC, but Emacs requires the Mingw headers and libraries to
  build (latest versions of the Cygwin toolkit, at least since v1.3.3,
  include the MinGW headers and libraries as an integral part).
