[R] Installation of R, Sweave, ESS and [X]Emacs on Windows?

[James W. MacDonald]

Hi Kevin,

Go here:

http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/ressources/emacs/

and get Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows.

Not sure how cygwin enters into the picture; you don't need it for 
either R, [X]Emacs, nor ESS. In fact, if you ever plan to build packages 
on Windows having cygwin installed can be an impediment.

Best,

Jim
