Are you referring to WinEmacs 1.35 by Pearl Software?  I currently use 
this editor and I love it.  However, it periodically pops up nag screens 
asking you to register the Pearl Sortware proprietary X-windows emulator that
comes with the package.  The emulator carries a hefty price tag ($199) 
but the performance of the editor is outstanding.  If you want to try out 
this software you can get it at the following ftp site:

	ftp.winsite.com

In the following directory

	pub/pc/win3/demo
 
Download the following files:

wemdemo1.zip    941005  Win-Emacs 1.35 (Lucid GNU Emacs), 1 of 4 [888k]
wemdemo2.zip    941005  Win-Emacs 1.35 (Lucid GNU Emacs), 2 of 4 [1.33m]
wemdemo3.zip    941005  Win-Emacs 1.35 (Lucid GNU Emacs), 3 of 4 [695k]
wemdemo4.zip    941005  Win-Emacs 1.35 (Lucid GNU Emacs), 4 of 4 [940k] 

Once you get these files follow the instructions for unzipping them.


Good Luck,
