There is an 'info' which probably can be made to work - check the mailing
list over the last couple of weeks.  I, however, could not get it to work
properly (NT4 SP4), or compile it from source properly.  Being in a hurry,
I gave up and downloaded 'emacs':
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/docs/ntemacs.html
which is small enough to download quickly, is a good editor and can be
installed without having to use a brain.
