Re: libtiff.dll

Thanks for the tips.

In order to get the precompiled Xemacs to run I needed

tiff-3.5.5-2.tar.gz
jpeg-6b-2.tar.gz
zlib-1.1.3-4.tar.gz

Unfortunately, I didn't notice those instructions, and it wouldn't have
registered anyway. I installed the binary kit distribution of xemacs. So I
was not sure which dll's it required.

Thanks again for the help.
