Wow. If you are trying to compile it, you are certianly going off on a
goose-chase. I've done that twice (on Unix systems), and always ended up with an
incredibly slow version after a lot of work.

You should follow the NT emacs link on my page. Download one of the "bin" or
"fullbin" distributions.

It comes with Ada bindings, so you should be cool there. There are newer ones
available with more features, but the ones it comes with are just fine for
starters.

If I remember correctly, it doesn't use installshield, but you really only have
to run one small executable to set up the registry for its use (no reboot).

As far as its virtues being well-hidden, perhaps that is the case. Certianly its
basic editing features are not somehow "zippier" than anyone else's (well, there
is the "transpose" keystroke :-) ). The big issue is all the advanced stuff it
can do.
