So I see (hence the 43 MB download). I would think everybody has Bzip2
by now, though. Even AdvanceDef would shave 3 MB off it. :-)

So which is it, UTF-16?

Yes, I heard about that, and it's no surprise. He probably has his
hands full and/or would rather work on other things.
P.S. It still claims an error when I try building with SYSTEM_MALLOC:
msdos.o w16select.o xmenu.o termcap.o tparam.o lastfile.o
getloadavg.o
-lg -lm
dosfns.o:dosfns.c:(.text+0x663): undefined reference to
`_ret_lim_data'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make.exe[1]: *** [temacs.exe] Error 1
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Armslurp/emacs-23.0.92/src'
make.exe: *** [src] Error 2
Now this time you have to admit that it isn't my imagination. :-)
