Re: Contribution Package Proposal: JASSPA's MicroEmacs
Thanks for the information.
So where can I find out information about the soon to be
released features of setup.exe ?? I have made up some cygwin
friendly software bundles and published them, the URL's are
by HTTP only as follows:-
http://www.jasspa.com/release_010814/jasspa-20010801.tar.bz2
http://www.jasspa.com/release_010814/jasspa-20010801-src.tar.bz2
http://www.jasspa.com/release_010814/jasspa-20010801.README
I assume that the setup.hint will be extended to include
an HTTP or FTP URL as opposed to the automatically generated
mirror file name ?? (guess).
Regards
Jon.
