Subject:	GNU emacs 21.2-5 packages available

GNU emacs package 21.2-5 has been released and should be on the various
mirrors.  A couple annoying bugs are fixed.

Changes:

- emacs now uses terminfo, not termcap

- black on black is no longer the default color scheme

I have tested this release on Win98 and it installs from the network
just fine, and it works just fine (on the desktop, without X11).  Make
sure that you have "tty" in your CYGWIN variable setting or you will
have problems with control-C.

There is a minor problem with the X11 version recognizing when
subprocesses have terminated, which I will investigate eventually.

               *** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN ***

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

In the US,
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/
is usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
system and will install newer packages automatically.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com .  This includes ideas and comments
about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list
is the appropriate place.
