Subject:	GNU emacs 21.2-7 packages available

GNU emacs package 21.2-7 has been released and should be on the various
mirrors soon.

This release fixes a packaging error in 21.2-6 -- I forgot to
ship the DOC file.  So the built-in emacs lisp documentation
should work now.

There are no porting bugs that I am aware of.  The last couple
problems have been bugs in emacs itself.

New users please be aware of a couple things:

- You will want "tty" included in your CYGWIN environment variable
   setting, and probably "binmode".  Look at the following for some
   documentation: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html

- Emacs sometimes fails to detect subprocess exit.  This is a cygwin
   problem and should be fixed in the next release of cygwin.

                *** 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.
