[R] [OT] xemacs on windows vista

[David Scott]

Just in case you think Vincent is pushing his distribution as opposed to 
some other approach, let me endorse his suggestion as someone who has 
recently made the change to GNU Emacs.

Vincent's distribution is truly very nice. I have installed it on Vista 
without any problems and for anyone who uses TeX and R it is an excellent 
option.

I haven't checked John Fox's advice concerning XEmacs lately but in the 
past it has been the best source of information about XEmacs and R if you 
do still want to stick with XEmacs.
