+	      Emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95/98/2000
+
+			Version 21.0.104 pretest
+
+			     July 16, 2001
+		
+This README file describes how to dump a bare precompiled version of GNU
+Emacs for Windows NT and Windows 95/98/2000.  This distribution
+supplements the standard dumped precompiled distribution of Emacs, which
+you can download from:
+
+	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/
+
+If you do not have the "bin" distribution, then you will need to
+download it before you can use this undumped version.  Also note that
+you should only need to dump Emacs yourself if you want to dump Emacs
+with more elisp files than are included normally, or to rebuild Emacs
+after patching one of the elisp files that is preloaded.
+
+The dumping process consists of running a bare Emacs, loading up a
+number of general elisp files, and then creating a new Emacs executable
+preinitialized and ready to run.  In the precompiled distributions,
+Emacs has already been dumped with the standard configuration.
+
+To dump Emacs, unpack this distribution into the directory created by
+unpacking the corresponding standard precompiled distribution.  To
+verify that you unpacked in the proper place, check to make sure that
+you now have a temacs.exe file in the bin directory.
+
+Once you have unpacked this distribution, cd into the bin directory and
+run dump.bat.  This will produce a new bin\emacs.exe executable for you
+to use (the original one is renamed to emacs.exe.orig; this is not
+overwritten if you run dump more than once).
+
+For more information about running Emacs, read the README.W32 file that
+came with the standard dumped precompiled distribution.  If you have
+problems with Emacs, including problems with dumping, send email to
+"[email protected]".
+
+Enjoy.
